Other benefits from the clinic were a reduction in pharmacy dispensing time and a highly significant reduction in pharmacy time spent resolving post-clinic prescription queries ( P <0.001).

There was a highly significant reduction in the amount of pharmacy time per patient spent resolving prescription issues in the clinic arm compared to the control arm of this study ( t =5.31, point estimate for the difference=8.0, 95%CI=5.05–11.04, P <0.001); fewer patients required a prescription intervention at the point of dispensing in the clinic arm compared to the control arm (30 vs 45.7%) but the difference did not reach statistical significance (df=1, χ 2 =3.439, P =0.064); but together, these results suggest that those interventions required in the clinic patients were of a more complex nature.
