Patient ‐reported barriers to medication adherence in heart failure in Scotland
ConclusionsThe factors affecting medication adherence in heart failure are multi ‐factorial and are unlikely to be improved by one single‐faceted intervention. Future interventions need to treat patients holistically, build their trust as partners, simplify complex treatment regimens where possible and involve educational and social elements. The skill set and opportunities afforded to pharmacists may be well placed to deliver many of these aspects but this would need tested in the context of the development of complex interventions.
