Developing a generic, individualised adherence programme for chronic medication users

Abstract

The strategies and theoretical reflections formed the platform for the creation of a counselling programme, which was tested in two forms, a basic and an extended version - provided by either a pharmaconomist or a pharmacist. The result section also describes a toolbox of instruments to enable pharmacy staff and GPs to tailor a counselling programme for patients individually called 'Safe and effective use of medicines'. Besides, the results include a description of how the WHO-model is transformed into an individualised counselling model.
