Abstract
Introduction Adherence to medicines in osteoporosis is poor, with estimated 1 year persistence rates between 16% and 60%. Poor adherence is complex, relating to combinations of fear of side effects, beliefs about medication being unnecessary, doubts about effectiveness and the burden of medication management. This is compounded by an absence of monitoring, as many patients are effectively discharged from ongoing care following the initial prescription. Clinical pharmacists in general practice are a relatively new workforce in the UK NHS; this is an unexplored professional group that could provide person-centred, adherence-focused interventions in an osteoporosis context.
A model consultation intervention to be delivered by clinical pharmacists in general practice for patients already prescribed fracture prevention medications will be developed using existing evidence and theory and empirical qualitative work outlined in this protocol.
