The research explored key processes, barriers, and facilitators to implementation, drawing on perspectives from both clinical and non-clinical staff across primary and secondary care. The authors identified alignment between staff values and the UCLP-PRIMROSE model, along with strong leadership as key drivers of success. Overall, implementation was moderately successful within a relatively short timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similarly,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/16\/3\/e107381.long\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Harkness et al<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> evaluated an integrated service combining diabetes and mental health care for individuals with type 1 diabetes and disordered eating. Using a mixed-methods design, including input from patients and staff across a range of roles, survey data, and detailed economic costing, the study found that these integrated services were positively received by both staff and patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition, a scoping review by<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/16\/3\/e108381\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tang et al<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> aimed to identify how pharmacies in the UK, already embedded in communities and widely accessed for vaccination, can also act as accessible hubs for delivering additional brief cardiovascular healthcare screening interventions. Authors found that community pharmacies offer an optimal setting for integrating cardiovascular-related screening interventions with the vaccination service, facilitated by their accessibility and convenience compared with primary care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Together, these studies reinforce the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration in improving health outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to these studies, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">BMJ Open<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> continues to support research advancing the One Health approach.
