To synthesise stakeholder (consumer, pharmacist and health professional) perspectives of expanded pharmacy practice in rural and remote community pharmacy.
Comparison of perspectives of stakeholder groups identified by four studies has highlighted the expected outcomes and anticipated barriers to expanded pharmacy practice. Aligning the studies has identified priority areas of health for which pharmacists may be able to provide expanded service delivery.
Expanded pharmacy services are supported by consumers, pharmacists and health professionals and are expected to improve health outcomes for rural and remote populations. Barriers will need to be overcome for expanded services to be sustainable in the future.
The pharmacy profession will need to undertake a paradigm shift to professional practice and work towards this should begin to reduce the health inequality for rural populations.
综合利益相关者（消费者、药剂师和卫生专业人员）对农村和偏远社区药房扩大实践的看法。
通过四项研究比较利益相关者群体的观点，突出了扩大药房实践的预期结果和预期障碍。对这些研究进行协调，确定了药剂师可能能够提供扩大服务的重点卫生领域。
扩大的药房服务得到了消费者、药剂师和卫生专业人员的支持，预计将改善农村和偏远地区人口的健康结果。为了使扩大服务具有可持续性，未来需要克服障碍。
药学专业将需要进行专业实践的范式转变，朝着这个方向努力应该开始减少农村人口的健康不平等。
