Funding to project manage the delivery of an after-hours palliative care medicines service

Palliative Medicines in Community Pharmacy (PMCP) Project Grant

This grant supports the establishment of an after-hours palliative care medicines service in the ACT. The service will enable greater access to palliative medicines and pharmacy support for Canberrans who are palliative and wish to be cared for at home.

• design and deliver the PMCP project
• manage a grant process to engage participating pharmacies
• administer grant management and oversight
• establish and run a PMCP project community of practice (CoP)
• design an evaluation framework and collect and analyse data.

The successful community organisation will have experience working with primary health providers, managing communities of practice, and an understanding of the palliative approach.
