INTRODUCTION
Acne is a common skin condition treated in community pharmacy but moderate to severe cases may need referral to general practice for treatment that may include topical or oral antimicrobial treatments. Pharmacy teams working in the community are well-placed to manage acne treatments in line with NICE guidance.
OBJECTIVES
To explore the perceived current and future roles of community pharmacy (CP) teams alongside needs to achieve potential future roles. Additionally, usefulness of the TARGET acne 'How to' toolkit to support these roles was sought.
METHODS
A mixed-methods electronic survey of UK-based CP professionals and stakeholders in March 2023.
RESULTS
54 pharmacy professionals and stakeholders responded to the survey. The current confidence of pharmacy professionals in managing acne was rated as moderate and reviewing long-term medications for acne prescribed by another healthcare professional was seen as a future role. The needs identified to undertake such a role were: training, availability of prescribing or supply frameworks, and appropriate remuneration. The TARGET acne resources were thought of as being very useful for acne management.
CONCLUSIONS
Potential future roles for CP have been identified, alongside additional needs to undertake these roles; the TARGET acne 'How to' resources could support pharmacy professionals in the management and review of antimicrobial treatment for acne.
引言
痤疮是一种常见的皮肤疾病，在社区药房进行治疗，但中度至重度病例可能需要转诊至全科医疗进行治疗，治疗方法可能包括局部或口服抗菌治疗。在社区工作的药房团队完全有能力按照英国国家卫生与临床优化研究所（NICE）的指南来管理痤疮治疗。
目的
探讨社区药房（CP）团队目前和未来所感知到的作用，以及实现未来潜在作用所需的条件。此外，还探寻了TARGET痤疮“操作指南”工具包对支持这些作用的实用性。
方法
2023年3月对英国的CP专业人员和利益相关者进行了一项混合方法的电子调查。
结果
54名药房专业人员和利益相关者对调查做出了回应。药房专业人员目前管理痤疮的信心被评为中等，审查由另一名医疗保健专业人员开具的痤疮长期用药被视为未来的一项作用。确定承担这一作用所需的条件包括：培训、处方或供应框架的可用性以及适当的报酬。TARGET痤疮资源被认为对痤疮管理非常有用。
结论
已确定了CP未来可能发挥的作用，以及承担这些作用所需的其他条件；TARGET痤疮“操作指南”资源可以支持药房专业人员管理和审查痤疮的抗菌治疗。
