Supportive Care UK's Remote Palliative Pharmacy Service
Supportive Care UK's Remote Palliative Pharmacy Services are helping to plug gaps in expert provision. Most hospices only have access to a generalist pharmacist, who may not have in-depth expertise of palliative medication. 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.
We've been partnering with ellenor Charity for more than five years, and as they have told us, our input "has played a key part in the development of the skills, knowledge and team-working of our medical team and other clinical staff."
We're delighted that they have chosen to deepen our partnership by signing up for our Remote Pharmacy service. This sees our specialist palliative pharmacists working closely with ellenor MDTs, carrying out medication checks, and offering advice and training on the best medication for each specific case.
Ellenor have found that this model not only gives them access to specialist palliative care pharmacists, allowing them to better support patients with complex needs, but also offers significant cost savings.
