Summary: The international literature reports that patients often do not take their medications as prescribed. This lack of adherence has negative consequences for the patient (through loss of clinical benefit), the healthcare system (increased healthcare costs), pharmaceutical companies and the pharmacy (loss of sales and poor quality use of medicine). The project aims to develop a protocol for a pharmacy banner group to implement an adherence service. This protocol outlines the stages of implementation and components of the adherence service, in which the banner group may undertake to implement this service in their pharmacies.
