57 Balancing traditional activities and cognitivepharmaceutical services by community pharmacists: 2 Conclusion Time dedicated to the provision of CPS has to be balanced with time dedicated to pharmacy management, logistics and other activities. Community pharmacists spending more time on CPS, predominantly spend less time on pharmacy management. Pharmacists spending more time on CPS compared to others tend to be locum pharmacists or work at a community pharmacy located in a residential area with largely older inhabitants, however these characteristics were not very strong predictors, suggesting that there probably are additional characteristics of pharmacists or pharmacies that determine the time spent on CPS.
