The Palliative Care Access to Core Medicines (PCAM) project funded by North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) aims to support palliative care in the community and assists people who wish to die at home through timely access to essential medicines. This minimises suffering associated with emergent end-of-life symptoms.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA), the peak national organisation for pharmacists working in all sectors, has been commissioned by NWMPHN to coordinate this project.
