Following discussion and prioritisation, three interventions were selected for further development: (1) an accessible Patient Safety Guide (PSG) to support communication between pharmacists, patients and carers regarding safe medication use; (2) a training video for pharmacists to improve awareness and understanding of the needs of people living with VI; and (3) pharmacy system changes, such as alerts or pop\u2010up notifications, to improve identification of people living with VI and facilitate personalised support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Co\u2010design involving people living with VI and community pharmacy professionals successfully identified practical and acceptable interventions with potential to improve medication safety.

A stakeholder consultation group comprising PwVI and a carer informed the development of the study protocol, accessibility adaptations, workshop structure, and supporting materials. PwVI participated directly in the co\u2010design workshops, identifying problems, generating solutions, and contributing to prioritisation of intervention ideas. Several PwVI also provided feedback on interpretation of findings and contributed to refining accessible outputs, including adaptations to the patient safety guide. Their involvement ensured that the research remained grounded in lived experience, and that the interventions developed reflected the priorities and practical realities of those directly affected.<\/jats:p>\n
