There has been global investment of new ways of working to support workforce pressures, including investment in clinical pharmacists working in primary care by the NHS in the England. Clinical pharmacists are well suited to support older adults who have multiple long-term conditions and are on multiple medications. It is important to establish an evidence base for the role of clinical pharmacists in supporting older adults in primary care, to inform strategic and research priorities. The aim of this scoping review is to identify, map and describe existing research and policy/guidance on the role of clinical pharmacists in primary care supporting older adults, and the models of care they provide.
A scoping review guided by the Joanne Briggs Institute methodology for scoping reviews, using a three-step strategy. We will search Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, PSYCHInfo, and Cochrane for English language articles, from 2015 -present day. Grey literature will be searched using Grey Matters guidelines, the Index of Grey Literature and Alternative Sources and Resources, and Google keyword searching. References of all included sources will be hand searched to identify further resources. Using the Population, Concept and Context framework for inclusion and exclusion criteria, articles will be independently screened by two reviewers. The inclusion and exclusion criteria will be refined after we become familiar with the search results, following the iterative nature of a scoping review. Data will be extracted using a data extraction tool using Microsoft Excel and presented using a narrative synthesis approach.
Ethical approval is not required for this review. Review findings will be disseminated in academic conferences and used to inform subsequent qualitative research. Findings will be published and shared with relevant local and national organisations.
为了应对劳动力压力，全球范围内一直在投资新的工作方式，包括英国国民保健制度（NHS）在基层医疗中投资临床药师。临床药师非常适合支持患有多种慢性疾病且同时服用多种药物的老年人。为了为临床药师在支持基层医疗中老年患者中的作用建立证据基础，为战略和研究重点提供信息，确定这一作用的现有研究和政策/指导方针非常重要。本范围综述的目的是确定、绘制和描述临床药师在支持基层医疗中老年患者方面的作用，以及他们提供的护理模式的现有研究和政策/指导方针，并对其进行描述。
本研究将采用乔安妮·布里格斯研究所（Joanne Briggs Institute）的范围综述方法，采用三步策略进行。我们将在 2015 年至现在的时间范围内，在 Medline、CINAHL、Scopus、EMBASE、Web of Science、PSYCHInfo 和 Cochrane 中搜索英文文章。将使用 Grey Matters 指南、灰色文献索引和替代资源和资源，以及谷歌关键词搜索来搜索灰色文献。将对所有纳入来源的参考文献进行手工搜索，以确定其他资源。使用纳入和排除标准的人群、概念和背景框架，由两名评审员独立筛选文章。在我们熟悉搜索结果后，将根据范围综述的迭代性质，对纳入和排除标准进行细化。将使用 Microsoft Excel 中的数据提取工具提取数据，并使用叙述性综合方法呈现数据。
本综述不需要伦理批准。审查结果将在学术会议上公布，并用于为随后的定性研究提供信息。研究结果将发表并与相关的地方和国家组织分享。
