dc.description.abstract	INTRODUCTION: The Granada statements promote the consistent use of appropriate terminology in pharmacy practice research. This pilot study aims to define the term Academic Community Pharmacy (ACP), providing a foundation for a forthcoming international study aimed at establishing a globally accepted definition. METHODOLOGY: A Delphi study was conducted in 2023 among academic entities from all five Swiss universities involved in pharmacy practice research and education. The first definition comprised four kex elements: place of practice, clinical and academic activities and links with universities. Anonymous survey rounds were conducted where panellists assessed agreement with and clarity of the statements using a Likert scale. Additionally, free comments and proposals for changes were allowed. Consensus for each statement was defined as ≥66 % agreement. RESULTS: The panel consisted of nine members. Two Delphi rounds were needed to reach consensus for the final definition: "An ACP is a facility providing professional pharmacy services (according to a commonly accepted definition in the location of the considered ACP) to the community, conducting research and education on such services, and that has formal links (e.g., financial or contractual) with a university". CONCLUSION: Establishing a clear and consistent definition of ACPs will support their characterization and further development.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION: The Granada statements promote the consistent use of appropriate terminology in pharmacy practice research. This pilot study aims to define the term Academic Community Pharmacy (ACP), providing a foundation for a forthcoming international study aimed at establishing a globally accepted definition. METHODOLOGY: A Delphi study was conducted in 2023 among academic entities from all five Swiss universities involved in pharmacy practice research and education. The first definition comprised four kex elements: place of practice, clinical and academic activities and links with universities. Anonymous survey rounds were conducted where panellists assessed agreement with and clarity of the statements using a Likert scale. Additionally, free comments and proposals for changes were allowed. Consensus for each statement was defined as ≥66 % agreement. RESULTS: The panel consisted of nine members. Two Delphi rounds were needed to reach consensus for the final definition: "An ACP is a facility providing professional pharmacy services (according to a commonly accepted definition in the location of the considered ACP) to the community, conducting research and education on such services, and that has formal links (e.g., financial or contractual) with a university". CONCLUSION: Establishing a clear and consistent definition of ACPs will support their characterization and further development.
