Oral health educational interventions for pharmacists and pharmacy staff: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Oral diseases are a significant public health issue globally, however timely access to healthcare can assist in reducing this disease burden. Pharmacists and pharmacy staff are increasingly being recognised as a valuable health service resource, especially in rural-remote areas where access to dental services is limited. Access to oral health training is a challenge that has been identified to enable pharmacists and staff to integrate oral healthcare into their routine practice.

Aim

To identify and examine the characteristics of existing oral health education interventions for pharmacy staff including evaluation outcomes of the identified interventions.

Method

Medline, Embase and CINAHL databases were searched. Citation searching and a structured grey lit
