Primary Care Wound Clinics: A Qualitative Descriptive Study of Patient Experiences in Community Pharmacies
The expansion of primary care wound services serves to alleviate secondary and tertiary care utilisation. However, patient satisfaction is required to ensure service uptake. In recent years, various community pharmacies in Australia have begun to offer dedicated wound clinics; however, evaluations of patient experiences have yet to be conducted.
Thus, the present study seeks to explore: (1) the experiences and satisfaction of patients who have received wound care consultations for their acute wounds in a community pharmacy setting; and (2) how current pharmacy-based wound services can be improved.
