Feedback wanted to help plan future of end-of-life medicine services
People across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and Royston who have experience in using palliative or end of life care, their families, carers, or medical support staff, are invited to share their experiences with the NHS to help improve access to urgent medicines.
A survey, launched by NHS Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, is asking for feedback as part of its plans to review the future of its local Pharmacy Palliative Care medicine services.
Palliative care is available for those who have a life-limiting illness, and end of life care is a type of palliative care people receive in the final year of their life.
To provide feedback, the palliative and end of life care pharmacy survey can be completed until 14 October 2023.
