Stakeholders prioritized Strategy, Partnerships, and Identity. Mapping of pharmacy staff barriers and enablers to the COM-B model and nine elements demonstrated how capability (skills, knowledge), opportunity (time, resources, networks), and motivation (professional recognition, culture) can be addressed. Findings emphasize these elements should be implemented together, embedded in organisational culture, and supported through strategic planning and sustained investment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interventions to support pharmacy professionals\u2019 research engagement should include all nine core elements, combined appropriately and underpinned by the COM-B model of behaviour, tailoring the operationalisation of these elements to local need. Combining these elements within organisational culture, education, and planning can embed research as a core professional role, ensuring sustained capability, opportunity, and motivation to engage with research across the pharmacy profession.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ijpp\/riag116","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T11:20:39Z","timestamp":1786360839000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Supporting the research capability and capacity of the pharmacy workforce in Wales: a rapid review of the literature and stakeholder engagement"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9741-1935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah L","family":"Brown","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport and Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University , Cardiff, CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gwenno","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport and Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University , Cardiff, CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]},{"name":"Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board , CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gitto","family":"Varghese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board , CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4646-9010","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah","family":"Hiom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff and Vale University Health Board , CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7434-7064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Delyth H","family":"James","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport and Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University , Cardiff, CF5 2YB ,","place":["Wales"]},{"name":"School of Sport and Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University; School of Medicine, Swansea University , SA2 8PP ,","place":["Wales"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090114121910500_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e009180","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2015-009180","article-title":"Research is \u201ca step into the unknown\u201d: an exploration of pharmacists\u2019 perceptions of factors impacting on research participation in the NHS","volume":"5","author":"Lowrie","year":"2015","journal-title":"BMJ Open"},{"key":"2026090114121910500_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"89","DOI":"10.1136\/gutjnl-2015-311308","article-title":"High hospital research participation and improved colorectal cancer survival outcomes: a population-based study","volume":"66","author":"Downing","year":"2017","journal-title":"Gut."},{"key":"2026090114121910500_ref3","volume-title":"Research Matters: What Excellence Looks like in NHS Wales","author":"Health and Care Research Wales","year":"2023"},{"key":"2026090114121910500_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12961-024-01187-7","article-title":"If health organisations and staff engage in research, does healthcare improve?
