Palliative Care Pharmacist Foundation Training Program

What are we doing?

PSA will develop and implement a Palliative Care Foundation Training Program for Pharmacists and pilot a community palliative care pharmacist service model. The community palliative care pharmacist service model pilot will assess the impact and activities of 6 specialist palliative care trained pharmacists in the community over 12 months. 

Why are we doing it?

To equip pharmacists with the knowledge and skills to support patients receiving palliative care in the community.

Value to PSA members

Pharmacists who complete this training will receive up-to-date education to ensure they deliver best practice palliative care. It is anticipated that the pilot will provide evidence supporting the integration of specialist palliative care trained pharmacists areas of practice relating to palliative care. 

The vision for the pilot program is to revolutionise the quality of palliative care in a diverse range of settings, especially for underserved populations who currently face additional barriers accessing palliative care. ​
