Achieving quality use of medicines in palliative and end of life care

The National Prescribing Service Limited (NPS) has prepared a stakeholder consultation report in collaboration with Palliative Care Australia (PCA). The report summarises the current situation with respect to quality use of medicine (QUM) in palliative and end-of-life care and aims to guide the direction of future activities to improve this. It is an important first step in documenting the issues and opportunities around QUM in palliative care, and stakeholders should be encouraged to further expand this work, develop and progress relevant initiatives and strategies within their sectors and engage others to improve QUM in palliative care and end of life care.
