Abstract

The recently published ‘Achieving Excellence in Pharmaceutical Care: a Strategy for Scotland’ urges community pharmacy (CP) to make itself the ‘first port of call’ for healthcare advice. The aim of this research is to explore the Scottish general public's awareness of CP services and their openness to consider CP their ‘first port of call’ for healthcare advice.
