However, several factors delay pharmacists’ ability to implement PPMA including integration with workflow and time constrains. Technology solutions aim to support PPMA can be important innovative tools to help pharmacists to perform PPMA. The aim of this project is to examine the feasibility and potential impact of a new clinical innovative software tool to support pharmacists for minor ailment prescribing. This project will be using an online survey that examines pharmacists’ perspective on the acceptability, impact on the integration in workflow, self-efficacy, time required and overall satisfaction with PPMA. The results of this project will be used to refine the tool to enhance its acceptability and effectiveness. The tool can then be implemented, to improve PPMA service, which will ultimately optimize patient care.
