Topics discussed included the following: what a CP does; reasons for visiting; from whom they seek advice on medicines or lifestyle issues; use of traditional and newer services and promotion of services. The groups, totalling 32 participants, represented non-users and users of pharmacy services, that is pupils from a local secondary school (x1 group), people from the local community (x3) and patients plus carers from a Parkinson\u2019s disease group (x1). FG discussions were recorded and transcribed verbatim, and analysis was undertaken to identify themes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Key findings<\/jats:title>\n Traditional dispensing and supply of medicines roles were clearly recognised, but poor awareness of the newer services emerged, particularly in public health roles. CP\u2019s professionalism was acknowledged, but there was confusion over where they \u2018fit\u2019 within the National Health Service or with General Practitioners, with concerns or misconceptions raised over the impact of commercialism on professionalism.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Based on these findings, the public is accepting of the extended role of CPs and would engage with CPs for a wider range of services. However, there is a lack of awareness of what public health services are available. Considerable work is needed to increase public awareness, during the strategic development of these services in Wales.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ijpp.12375","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,25]],"date-time":"2017-05-25T17:09:34Z","timestamp":1495732174000},"page":"120-128","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["The public\u2019s perception of the role of community pharmacists in Wales"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8109-6467","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanne","family":"Kember","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Cardiff University, Wrexham, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Hodson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Cardiff University, Wrexham, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Delyth H","family":"James","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cardiff School of Health Sciences, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Cardiff, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,24]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Pharmacy \u2013 the Heart of our Community","year":"2010","author":"Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0001"},{"volume-title":"The Pharmacy Contract","year":"2012","author":"Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0002"},{"volume-title":"NHS Wales: Forging a better future","year":"2011","author":"Bevan Commission in \u2018NHS Wales: Forging a better future\u2019 (2008\u20132011) Welsh Government","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0003"},{"volume-title":"Choosing Health through Pharmacy: a programme for pharmaceutical health 2005\u20132015","year":"2005","author":"Department of Health","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0004"},{"volume-title":"Setting the direction: primary and community services strategic delivery programme","year":"2010","author":"Welsh Government","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0005"},{"volume-title":"Together for health [Online]","year":"2011","author":"Welsh Government","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0006"},{"key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2042-7174.1992.tb00575.x","article-title":"Public views on the extended role for community pharmacy","volume":"1","author":"Williamson","year":"1992","journal-title":"Int J Pharm Pract"},{"volume-title":"National Evaluation of the New Community Pharmacy Contract","year":"2007","author":"Blenkinsopp","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0008"},{"volume-title":"A scoping exercise to identify barriers and facilitators to the delivery of the MUR service in Community Pharmacies in Wales","author":"James","key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0009"},{"key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"582","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-582","article-title":"Public health in community pharmacy: a systematic review of pharmacist and consumer views","volume":"11","author":"Eades","year":"2011","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"key":"2021012505142453800_ijpp12375-bib-0011","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"25","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1759-8893.2011.00074.x","article-title":"The role of community pharmacists in public health;
