Abstract
Since 2007, a number of Primary Care Trusts in the North West have, at some point, commissioned an identification and brief advice (IBA) service for alcohol in the community pharmacy setting and almost 100 pharmacies have been involved in providing the service. The alcohol IBA has a good track record in other primary care settings. This paper describes one aspect of a larger study looking at the community pharmacy context. The aim of this part of the study was to understand the attitudes towards and experience of delivering the service in the community pharmacy setting.
