Experience-based co-design of an active case finding service for colorectal cancer in community pharmacies: findings from a focused ethnography.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer deaths in the UK. Socioeconomic deprivation is associated with delayed diagnoses and poorer CRC outcomes. Community pharmacies, highly accessible in underserved areas, present an opportunity to address these health inequalities. This DETECT-CRC study aimed to develop a pharmacy-based active case-finding (ACF) service for CRC in underserved communities of Yorkshire, UK.
methodsWe used a modified Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD) approach to develop the ACF service. Four co-design workshops were conducted over five months, bringing together pharmacists, general practitioners (GP), patients and community members. A focused ethnography was embedded within the EBCD process, consisting of interviews and observation of workshops. Field notes were analysed thematically to identify key considerations shaping the service design.
resultsThree overarching themes emerged: 1) Amplifying community pharmacy assets, emphasising accessibility and trust-building; 2) Strengthening inclusive practice, highlighting privacy, cultural considerations, health literacy, and emotional factors; and 3) Enabling service integration and quality, stressing collaboration between pharmacies and GPs, and pharmacy training needs. These insights informed the development of a comprehensive ACF service model, including multilingual patient-facing materials, a training package for pharmacy staff, and protocols for GP communication. The co-design process ensured the resulting service was grounded in community needs and perspectives.
conclusionThis study provides a co-designed model for pharmacy-based ACF of CRC in underserved areas. The model shows promise in addressing health inequalities and improving early cancer detection. It demonstrates how community pharmacies can play a pivotal role in cancer detection, contributing to the NHS Long Term Plan's ambition of diagnosing 75% of cancers at stage 1 or 2 by 2028. While further research is needed to evaluate its effectiveness, this approach holds potential for improving CRC outcomes in underserved communities and could be adapted for other health conditions and settings.
