Understanding pharmacist perspective and needs to provide adolescent-centred care

Community pharmacist have the potential to provide accessible health services to adolescents and the potential to improve adolescent’s access to sexual and reproductive health care. To ensure that pharmacists are supported and have the appropriate skills to provide adolescent-centred care, this study will seek to understand pharmacists’ perspective and needs to deliver adolescent sexual and reproductive health services. We will conduct a qualitative study with pharmacists to explore their views and needs. This project sits within SPHERE, an NHMRC-funded Centre of Research Excellence in Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women in Primary Care. SPHERE is led by Professor Danielle Mazza and supported by multidisciplinary students and researchers in the Department of General Practice. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be part of this team with support from supervisors.
