| Abstract | Objective(s): In 2012, pharmacists in Ontario were authorized to independently prescribe, including renew, and adapt prescriptions. This study described Ontario pharmacy service users’ views, support for and willingness to use pharmacist prescribing services in the community. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with adults who had filled or refilled prescription(s) at a community pharmacy within the past three months were conducted. Interview transcripts were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Participants expressed that community pharmacist prescribing services had potential benefits, including being personally convenient. They also had some concerns, such as pharmacists potentially lacking access to clinical information (e.g. laboratory results and health records) that might be required to safely prescribe. Support for and willingness to use pharmacist prescribing services appeared to be contingent on perceptions of personal convenience, complexity of prescribing service, and cultural authority of pharmacists. |
