A pharmacist academicmoderated the focus group using a semi-structuredinterview guide. The participants were asked abouttheir attitudes towards research, previousinvolvement in research, barriers to theirinvolvement and strategies to overcome thesebarriers. The session was audio-taped and noteswere taken by an observer.

Barriersto research participation were grouped into fourthemes: pharmacists mindset, communication,infrastructure (time, money and staff), andskills/knowledge. Strategies to address each ofthese barriers were suggested.Conclusions: Participants recognised theimportance of research towards advancing theirprofession and this was a motivating factor forinvolvement in research.
