@article { , title = {What supports hospital pharmacist prescribing in Scotland? A mixed methods, exploratory sequential study.}, abstract = {While approximately half of all qualified hospital pharmacist independent prescribers (PIPs) in Scotland are active prescribers, there are major differences in prescribing activity across geographical areas. This study aimed to explore, through focus groups, interviews and a questionnaire, hospital PIPs' perceptions of factors associated with prescribing activity and to investigate the infrastructure required to better support active prescribing by PIPs. Findings reinforced the perceived positive impact of supportive pharmacy leadership within the organisation, recognition that prescribing is integral to the clinical pharmacist role and a work environment conducive to prescribing.}, doi = {10.1016/j.sapharm.2017.06.007}, eissn = {1934-8150}, issn = {1551-7411}, issue = {5}, journal = {Research in social and administrative pharmacy}, note = {COMPLETED -- Now published and is now Gold Open Access, was only GREEN previously 11/5/2018 LM -- Still In Press 26/3/2018, 26/2/2018, 26/1/2018, 21/12/2017, 5/12/2017, 22/9/2017, 21/8/2017, 24/7/2017 LM -- AM available on website, downloaded 23/6/2017 LM -- Info via ScDir alert 22/6/2017 LM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Stewart, Derek -- Panel A}, pages = {488-497}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {Elsevier}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10059/2390}, volume = {14}, keyword = {Health & Wellbeing, Hospital pharmacist, Pharmacist independent prescribers (PIPs), Scotland, Nonmedical prescribing}, year = {2018}, author = {Fisher, J. and Kinnear, M. and Reid, F. and Souter, C. and Stewart, D.} }
