<jats:title>Background</jats:title>
<jats:p>Domiciliary medication reviews are thought to enable comprehensive medication reviews centred around the needs of individuals. However, there is no clear consensus on where the value of these services lie.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Aim</jats:title>
<jats:p>To determine the value of domiciliary medication reviews to service providers through semi-structured focus groups, interviews and thematic analysis.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Method</jats:title>
<jats:p>Study participants were recruited from domiciliary medication review services provided in the United Kingdom. Semi-structured focus groups and interviews were analysed using thematic analysis.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>Six themes were identified: the scope of domiciliary medication review services, the professional role, advantages over traditional settings, disadvantages of domiciliary medication reviews for the professional, levels of engagement and outcomes.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
<jats:p>Pharmacy professionals believe that the domiciliary setting provides advantages over traditional healthcare settings when conducting medication reviews. They believe it enables a more in-depth review of an individual’s medications and needs. The traditional clinical outcomes recorded by services may not be capturing the holistic impact of domiciliary medication reviews.</jats:p>
