Abstract:
A combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies was used to explore the
research questions from a number of different angles. A literature review was carried out
to identify work which had already been published in this area. Focus groups were
conducted with pharmacists to explore their views on the topic. A survey and a simulated
patient study were combined to explore how pharmacy staff responded to patients
requesting advice on weight control. A pharmacy-based weight control service was
developed, delivered and evaluated in a feasibility study. The opinions of stakeholders
were sought through a series of semi-structured interviews with patient representatives and
policy makers. A triangulation of results was used to ensure that the research questions
were comprehensively addressed.
