Future evaluations should report referral mechanisms, uptake, completion, follow-up processes and post-referral outcomes. Referral and follow-up appeared feasible in pharmacy-led delivery, but evidence was limited by poor reporting of completion and outcomes.

Pharmacy-led referral routes included pharmacist-to-GP referral, GP follow-up, rapid diagnostic referral and referral to behavioural or specialist support services.
