About the Project 關於賽馬會藥健同心藥物支援網絡
In 2024, the Jockey Club PHARM+ Community Medication Service Network established Community Pharmacies in multiple districts to provide accessible and affordable dispensing services. It provides medication consultation, advice on chronic diseases and minor ailments, and promotes health literacy and safe medication use. The Project is expected to serve over 110,000 individuals in need and provide training to over 5,400 professionals, including pharmacists, pharmacy students and relevant healthcare service providers within five years. It organises public education activities to enhance public knowledge of proper medication use and raise public health awareness. The Project’s community-based medication service network forms the first line of defence in disease management to help build a healthier community.
The Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy sincerely acknowledges the generous support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, whose philanthropy has made the Jockey Club PHARM+ Community Medication Service Network possible and enabled HKU and its partners to advance primary healthcare pharmacy in Hong Kong.
「賽馬會藥健同心藥物支援網絡」於2024年開始，以先導形式於多區設立社區藥房，為公眾提供便捷及可負擔的社區配藥服務，亦會提供藥物諮詢服務、慢性疾病和輕微疾病管理服務，並推廣健康生活和安全使用藥物等保健資訊。預計計劃項目期間有超過十一萬人受惠，並向逾五千四百位專業人士，包括藥劑師、藥劑系學生及相關醫療服務提供者提供培訓。有關計劃會透過一系列公眾教育活動，向市民推廣正確使用藥物知識，同時提高大眾對公共衞生的意識。計劃構建以社區為本的藥物支援網絡，築起疾病管理的第一道防線，從而締造更健康社區。
香港大學藥理及藥劑學系謹此衷心鳴謝香港賽馬會慈善信託基金的慷慨支持，使「賽馬會藥健同心社區藥物支援網絡」得以推行，並促進本系與多個合作夥伴共同推動香港基層醫療藥劑服務的發展。

Research 研究
The Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, LKS Faculty of Medicine, HKU takes the lead in evaluating the service outcomes and performing practice-based research.
All eight NGO Community Pharmacies are invited to recruit patients for the survey or focus group interviews for the evaluation research. The HKU research team is recruiting a sample size of 1,056 patients for the evaluation of the Minor Ailment Service (MAS) and 640 participants for Medication Management Services (MMS).
The Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework and Randomised Evaluation of Shared Prescribing for Elderly people in the Community over Time (RESPECT) trial are adopted. The former is a tool widely used to evaluate and inform the public health impact of health interventions, and to help reduce bias and increase the validity of the evaluation. The RESPECT trial led by the Project's Principal Investigator (Professor Ian Wong) aimed to assess the impact of a Community Pharmacy-led interventions on patient outcomes in the United Kingdom, which is similar to MMS in Hong Kong. Our research team will adopt the same approach as the RESPECT trial to evaluate the patient outcomes of MMS in Hong Kong.
The objectives of the MAS and MMS evaluation frameworks are divided into the following outcomes:
Structural and Process Outcomes Structural outcomes refer to the capacity associated with providing care, while process outcomes include the specific steps that healthcare providers and patients undertake to maintain or improve health. These measures allow us to assess the quality of care delivered to the service users.
Humanistic Outcomes Humanistic outcomes reflect the impact of the services on the community engagement, satisfaction, and enablement of the patients. The standard health related questionnaires (e.g. patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ), Patient Enablement Index (PEI), etc.) are adopted.
Clinical Outcomes (for MMS only) Clinical outcomes reflect the impact of the service on the health status of patients. The clinical parameters and health service utilisation are measured.
Economic Outcomes (for MMS only) Economic outcomes inform decision-makers about the cost-effectiveness of the Community Pharmacy scheme. The costing study and a cost-effectiveness analysis are conducted.
香港大學李嘉誠醫學院藥理及藥劑學系主導社區藥房服務成果的評估，並進行以實踐為本的研究。
香港大學邀請八間藥健同心社區藥房招募服務使用者參與以問卷調查或核心小組面談形式進行的研究。研究團隊將邀請達1,056 位參與者參與對輕微疾病管理服務及640位參與藥物管理服務的評估。
我們採用了RE-AIM架構和RESPECT試驗以進行評估。RE-AIM框架是一種廣泛用於評估健康幹預措施對公共衛生影響的工具。此工具有助減少偏差，並能提高評估的效度。由計劃的首席研究員（黃志基教授）領導的 RESPECT 試驗旨在評估社區藥房主導的干預措施對英國市民的影響，這與香港的藥物管理服務類似。我們的研究團隊將採用與 RESPECT 試驗相同的方法來評估藥物管理服務對香港市民的影響 。
輕微疾病管理服務及藥物管理服務的評估框架包括以下方面：
結構性或過程相關的結果
結構性結果指與提供醫療服務相關的能力，而過程性結果包括醫療服務提供者和病人為維持或改善健康所採取的具體步驟。這些措施有助我們評估為服務使用者（病人）提供的服務質素。
人本主義相關的結果
人本主義相關的結果反映了此服務對病患的社區參與度、滿意度和自強能力的影響。標準健康相關問卷，如病人滿意度調查（PSQ）、病人自強評估量表（PEI）等，會被採用。
臨床效益 (僅藥物管理服務)
臨床效益反映了藥房服務對患者健康狀況的影響。我們會紀錄患者的臨床參數及醫療服務使用率以進行分析。
經濟效益 (僅藥物管理服務)
經濟效益讓決策者了解藥健同心社區藥房計畫的成本效益。我們會就研究成本及成本效益兩方面進行深入分析。
