'I thought it would be a very clearly defined role and actually it wasn't': a qualitative study of transition training for pharmacists moving into general practice settings in Wales.

A formal programme with a designated tutor can support pharmacists' transition into general practice settings. The programme's competency framework facilitated reciprocal understanding of the pharmacist's role in the team, helped to manage expectations and enhanced collaborative practice. Recommendations to facilitate pharmacist integration into general practice settings are provided.
