Written response to the UK Parliamentary Inquiry: House of Lords Select Committee on Medicines Security
Medicine supply is vital for individuals living at home in the last year of life (end-of-life). Without this, symptoms cannot be effectively managed, causing high levels of distress. For community pharmacists (CPs), medicine supply to those at end-of-life was central to their role, significantly impacting individuals and their families.
Our submission focuses on the issues related to palliative and end of life Medicine Supply including stock levels, the impact of shortages, communication breakdowns, and inadequate stock level monitoring. The ActMed study highlighted significant issues affecting supply of medicines into community pharmacy in the context of end-of-life care.
