Authors/Creators
- 1. London NW Local Practice forum of Royal Pharmaceutical Society
Description
An opportunistic lung cancer awareness campaign was undertaken by 29 pharmacies in NW London.
Evaluation findings included a statistically significant difference between the in-pharmacy outcomes for men and women. Referral to a GP was more likely to be the sole outcome for women than men (p<0.01) and inclusion of an OTC product was a more likely outcome for men than women (p<0.0045). Sample size 105 (53 women; 52 men).
This is consistent with lung cancer awareness findings within other areas of healthcare.
Notes
This was an unfunded study undertaken by members of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society in North west London
