Background:
There are few studies of community pharmacy footfall and activity in the existing literature, especially by direct observation.
Objective:
To describe the characteristics of counter interactions between pharmacy staff and customers.
Method:
Structured observation of all interactions between pharmacy staff and customers across the weekly opening hours of five pharmacies diverse in location and ownership.
Key Findings:
Three-quarters (76%) of observed interactions were associated with prescriptions, but a significant minority accessed cognitive services.
Conclusions:
Dispensing was the primary activity across the diverse range of pharmacies. Reasons for visits are diversifying into advice and services, particularly among younger users.
