Integrating cardiovascular healthcare screening into a community pharmacy vaccination service: a scoping review to identify opportunities for patient engagement and service expansion

Community pharmacies offer an optimal setting for integrating cardiovascular-related screening interventions with the vaccination service delivered within community pharmacy. Successful implementation will require attention to the identified facilitators including the quality of staff training, competing priorities and optimisation and utilisation of pharmacy space. Future research should prioritise definitive controlled trials and cost-effectiveness analyses to assess long-term health outcomes. Policy action is also needed to support service integration and expand pharmacists' public health roles within the wider National Health Service.
