PCiCP- Pharmacist Consultation

During consultations in 2022, pharmacists and prescribers described challenges in knowing which pharmacies stock palliative care medication, particularly those open out of hours. As part of the Palliative Care in Community Pharmacy Action Plan, Brisbane North PHN aims to create and maintain a list of palliative friendly pharmacies which is easily accessible by prescribers and pharmacists to improve awareness of pharmacies which support palliative care.

This survey will provide valuable insights on the criteria to be adopted for “palliative friendly pharmacies” and the format of the list.

The survey consists of up to 20 questions and is estimated to take approximately 12 minutes to complete. There are eight (8) questions which will directly assist with the implementation of Action 1: List of Palliative Friendly Pharmacies. There are seven (7) questions which will help with the implementation of all action items in the Palliative Care in Community Pharmacy Action Plan. Five (5) questions are for administrative purposes only.

As a token of thanks for your time, Brisbane North PHN is offering a $50 e-gift card for completing the survey.

All responses will be deidentified at the point of data analysis, with identifying question used for administrative purposes only. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Caroline Irle (caroline.irle@brisbanenorthphn.org.au).

This project is supported by funding from the Department of Health under the Greater Choice for At Home Palliative Care measure.
