Focal points □ The study was conducted to inform the design of pharmaceutical care support to patients with Type 2 diabetes – a recognised health care priority and a target for new pharmacy initiatives □ Interviews in an outpatient clinic revealed an apparent lack of patient‐pharmacist communication and low patient expectations □ Some patients felt a lack of feedback about the results of clinic checks and what they meant for disease control □ Patient information leaflets were not consistently seen as meeting patients' needs for information and advice □ Patients' experiences can be used to develop the role of community pharmacy services within the health care team effort
