THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia yesterday signed a new Memorandum of Understanding with Palliative Care Australia.
The MoU outlines a "shared commitment to work collaboratively to facilitate better outcomes for people receiving palliative care and their families and carers," through the sharing of information and knowledge, tools and resources.
It also envisions pro-active partnership approaches to advocacy, seeking funding and the development of resources, focused on achieving a supported community pharmacy sector to improve the provision of palliative care in the community and within residential care.
Activities will include advocating for appropriate remuneration of palliative care activities within the community pharmacy sector.
The agreement is in effect until 30 Jun 2020, with Guild President George Tambassis pictured sealing the deal with Palliative Care Australia Board Chair Jane Fischer.
