Development of a Self-Assessment Audit Instrument to Support Climate-Conscious Community Pharmacy Practice and Education
Climate breakdown continues to occur at an alarming pace, and the need for all citizens and professionals to respond has never been so urgent. Healthcare work contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing an opportunity and responsibility for pharmacists to engage in more climate-conscious practices. A key informant interview-based qualitative research method was undertaken to identify options and strategies for community pharmacists to contribute positively to achieving climate-related carbon footprint reduction goals. A total of 10 thought leaders in climate-conscious pharmacy practice were interviewed using a semi-structured protocol, and a constant comparative data analysis method was used to identify common themes and priorities. A self-assessment audit instrument (SAAI) was identified as a positive first step to build awareness, knowledge, skills, and confidence amongst community pharmacists regarding actionable climate-conscious community pharmacy practice. The SAAI supported both self-reflection and self-assessment, while signposting additional resources that could be accessed by pharmacists to continue their learning and professional development. Further work in this area is required if community pharmacy is to contribute positively to climate reduction targets locally and globally.
