Data to support: Pharmacy Practice and First Peoples Health Equity - A Scoping Review

Background: Access to medicines and quality use of medicines is critical to achieving First Peoples health equity. This scoping review identified pharmacy practice strategies and interventions, across the globe, contributing to achieving First Peoples health equity, including reported outcomes and how impact was measured. The review mapped identified strategies and interventions to a contemporary framework articulating the role of the pharmacist in contributing to sustainable health equity (the Kiles et al framework) and identified gaps for the pharmacy profession. It also identified barriers and enablers to implementation of the strategies and interventions. Findings were used to propose a model for pharmacy practice to maximise its contribution to achieving First Peoples health equity. The discussion highlights the need for pharmacists to be working at their full scope and competent at a high level in communication and leadership skills. Innovative and flexible Advanced Pharmacy Practice models of care are needed which embrace the social aspects associated with pharmaceutical care delivery. The pharmacy profession requires a way to measure its impact on health equity.

The protocol for this scoping review was published with JBI Evidence Synthesis: 2024;22(5):913-924.https://doi.org/10.11124/jbies-23-00129
