Community pharmacist-led medication review procedures across Europe: Characterization, implementation and remuneration.

Background: Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) proposed a definition and classification system (type 1, 2a, 2b, 3) for medication review in 2016. However, to date, a description of the implementation and remuneration of such procedures across Europe is lacking.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the medication review procedures and the level of implementation and remuneration in community pharmacies across Europe.

A survey to assess the availability, implementation rate and remuneration of pharmacist-led cognitive services throughout Europe.

Background: Pharmacist-led cognitive services (PLCS) are increasingly necessary in primary care as a response to patient-centered care. However, the implementation rate and remuneration models of PLCS are either absent or superficially described in the literature.

Objective: The aim of this study is to review the implementation of PLCS in primary care across Europe and explore the associated third-party paid remuneration models.
