Keele Centre for Medicines Optimisation School of Pharmacy, Keele University
Method Survey drafted after survey sub-group meeting Revised after comments from sub-group Revised after comments from EAHP co-ordinators Survey Monkey used English and 15 other languages to cover 34 member countries 4 week answer period Weekly reminder emails Codes given to country co-ordinators to assist identification of responses
UK Response rate ~ 18% Response rate ~40% with equal weighting for each country
Survey design • Section 1 • General information about setting and workforce • Helps assess capacity/capability barriers • Section 2 • Specific questions about implementation of statements • Baseline position for each country • Implementation barriers • Section 3 • General issues around implementation readyness
Identifying the barriers to implementation Defined as a ‘negative response’
Initial analysis of quantitative responses • For whole of Europe • By country • Identified 5 questions that appear to have biggest barriers to implementation • By mode and by mean • Mode: the number of countries that placed the question in the lowest 5 rated questions. • Mean: the mean percentage of negative responses to a question across all respondent countries
The 5 questions with the most negative responses *Mode: The number of countries that placed the question in the lowest 5 rated questions. **Mean: The mean percentage of negative responses to a question across all respondent countries.

Implementation 6: Our hospital has the confidence to make changes and implement the Statements. UK
Entering medicines on care record… "it is the doctors job to prescribe" “this is done by junior doctors”
Transfer of information about medicines between healthcare settings… "Appropriate IT and staff resource"
Publishing practice research… "Time and pressure of work plus a view that our work is not publishable when it often is" "Not a teaching hospital" "Lack of dedicated time for pharmacy practice research"
Using external assurance for medicines use processes… "lack of recognised UK accreditation programme" "availability of suitable external programmes" "part of a regional benchmarking group and due to be peer reviewed Dec 15"
Next steps…… • Final report end of June 2015 • Whole of Europe • Report for each of the 34 countries • Publication of 3 papers in EJHP: • Methodology employed • Key findings • Implications for implementation of the statements • Next survey October 2015
