The
development
of
age
appropriate
paediatric
formulations,
particularly
those
suitable
for
young
children,
presents
challenges
with
only
limited
knowledge
available
on
the
acceptability
of
different
medicines
and
how
this
affects
medication
adherence.
This
thesis
describes
studies
conducted
at
Alder
Hey
Children’s
Hospital,
Liverpool
UK,
with
the
aim
of
determining
which
factors
relating
to
dose
form
and
organoleptic
properties
of
a
medicinal
product
influence
medication
adherence
in
chronically
ill
children.
The
research
was
conducted
in
two
phases
comprising
70
chronically
ill
children
aged
between
3
and
11
years,
70
primary
caregivers,
and
33
hospital
clinical
and
technical
staff.
