Abstract Background Given the poor long-term effectiveness of opioids for persistent non-cancer pain, and their potential harm, evidence-based interventions to address opioid overprescribing pain are needed. This study aimed explore acceptability feasibility a primary care practice pharmacist-led intervention (PROMPPT review) patients prescribed evaluating PROMPPT in definitive trial. Methods A single-arm study, with mixed methods process evaluation, was conducted four English practices....
ABSTRACT Background Stakeholder involvement is a core element of the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions, but approaches to involve stakeholders are not well‐reported. We outline how contributed co‐designing Proactive clinical Review patients taking Opioid Medicines long‐term persistent Pain led by Pharmacists working in primary care Teams (the PROMPPT intervention—a review pharmacist training package). Methods brought key together...
Understanding patients' experiences is important when developing interventions for people living with persistent pain. Interviews and focus groups are frequently used to capture beliefs, views, perspectives. These methods often require a commitment predetermined date time that may present barrier participation. An asynchronous online discussion forum, specifically designed research purposes, provides an alternative potentially more accessible method In this article we discuss bespoke the...
Introduction Regular review of patients prescribed opioids for persistent non-cancer pain (PCNP) is recommended but not routinely undertaken. The PROMPPT (Proactive clinical Review taking Opioid Medicines long-term Pain led by Pharmacists in primary care Teams) research programme aims to develop and test a pharmacist-led (PROMPPT) reduce inappropriate opioid use care. This study explored the acceptability proposed inform early intervention development. Methods Interviews ( n = 15) an online...
Seventy-four British adults, 37 religious and nonreligious, assigned causes to each of 38 hypothetical events. The possible were G-d, powerful others, luck, self. Subjects free ascribe as many event they felt appropriate. Religious subjects did perceive G-d a causal agent much more frequently than the nonreligious subjects, but this effect was basically due subjects' perception in health-related life-and-death events rather occupational/financial relationships There no striking differences...

Evidence-based interventions to address inappropriate opioid prescribing lacking. Aim To explore perspectives people living with understand barriers facilitators in reducing opioids the context a pharmacist-led primary care review, identify review components features optimal delivery.

Background It is reported that the longer-term outcomes for stroke survivors are poor, with a range of unmet needs identified. Objectives The aims were to develop and test care strategy focused on improving quality life their carers by addressing needs, maintenance enhancement participation (i.e. involvement in situations).

Abstract Background To address the limited provision of longer-term stroke care, we conducted a programme research (LoTS2Care) to develop and test an intervention form part replicable care strategy. New Start, facilitated self-management, was developed be delivered at 6 months post-stroke by trained facilitators. Here, report findings from final workstream this programme, which aimed evaluate feasibility acceptability implementing future definitive cluster randomised controlled trial (New...
