General practitioners' perceptions of the roles of community pharmacists and their willingness to collaborate with pharmacists in primary care.

Background: Community pharmacists (CPs) have the capacity to contribute to patient care given their expertise in medication and accessibility to residents in the community. However, multidisciplinary patient care programmes where CPs collaborate with general practitioners (GPs) in patient care is rare in Singapore despite increasing healthcare demand.

Objectives: This study explores GPs' perceptions of CPs' current roles and GPs' ideas for and attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration.
