Remote palliative pharmacy
Most hospices only have access to a generalist pharmacist, who may not have in-depth expertise of palliative medication. And given the complexity of many end-of-life conditions, that’s not ideal. Our remote palliative pharmacy service provides a direct link to specialist consultant pharmacists, who can make sure your patients receive exactly what they need.
Why you might need us
It’s no secret that getting end-of-life medication right can be stressful. From balancing symptom relief with potential side effects, to keeping on top of new developments and mitigating against shortages, there are some specific challenges that a generalist pharmacist might not be best placed to navigate. And that makes it harder for hospice staff to provide the very best care.
What we offer
Our remote palliative pharmacists act like part of your team, providing expert advice through a weekly medication and documentation check, scheduled pharmacy reviews and ad-hoc support. They can advise you on everything from perfectly matching the dosage to a patient’s weight and blood chemistry, to assessing the potential suitability of out of licence options, offering an additional layer of governance that improves patient safety.
