The goal is not to cure, but to provide comfort and maintain the highest possible quality of life for as long as life remains.

Palliative care functions best within an interdisciplinary team model that includes pharmacists playing a vital role in improving therapy compliance and outcomes.Pharmacists are practicing palliative care in a number of settings that include hospice, home care, out-patient treatment centers and hospitals. Palliative care often follows as a parallel track to the therapy for the disease. Palliative Pharmacy Care serves both as an aid to practitioners and a teaching text. Each chapter contains at least one case study with questions, key points, and clinical pearls. Inside you’ll find: A solid foundation for the history and principles of the area of practice as well as more advanced sections on specific treatment issues such as cancer and pediatrics. Symptom-management overviews for specific diseases and general health problems related to terminal illness such as anxiety, fatigue, and constipation.

Book Synopsis Geriatric Palliative Care by : Suzanne Goldhirsch
Download or read book Geriatric Palliative Care written by Suzanne Goldhirsch and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing geriatric population in the United States has created an increasing need for palliative medicine services across the range of medical and surgical specialties. Yet, palliative medicine lacks the resources to carry such a workload itself. Geriatric Palliative Care addresses this need by encouraging individual specialties to "own" the management of elderly with the same vigor as they "own" other key management competencies within their specialty. This clinically focused and highly practical handbook, which compliments the more comprehensive text Geriatric Palliative Care by Sean Morrison and Diane Meier (Oxford University Press, 2003), encourages this process of learning and ownership across many medical specialties. Designed to be readable and easily accessible to a range of health care providers, Geriatric Palliative Care outlines specific strategies for caring for specific palliative care issues common in elderly patients. The handbook also provides evidence based advice for helping patients, relatives, and staff cope with such issues as polypharmacy, dementia and consent, multiple pathologies, home care, elderly caregivers, and supporting the elderly in the place where they would like to be.

Book Synopsis International Palliative Care Pharmacist Educational Exchange by : Andrew Dickman
Download or read book International Palliative Care Pharmacist Educational Exchange written by Andrew Dickman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Pharmacists are an integral member of the palliative care team. Thorough symptom assessment and medication management is essential to quality palliative care. We describe an educational exchange between a pharmacist in the US and a pharmacist in the UK through ties with their respective national professional societies. Funding was obtained through a combination of grants and educational scholarships.Methods: The US based pharmacist spent 1 week observing palliative care pharmacist practices in the UK including inpatient hospice, inpatient academic palliative care unit and palliative care consult service. Key observations of similarities and differences of palliative care pharmacy practice were recorded and discussed.Results: Observations were categorized into 2 primary categories and used to identify opportunities for future educational and research endeavors. Categories: Team structure and function (role of the pharmacist, disciplines on team); and medication utilization (medications not available in US/UK, place in therapy differences; route of administration differences). The visiting pharmacist shared observations with the host palliative care team to further educational dialogue.Conclusions: The second exchange is planned for June 2019 in which the UK based palliative care pharmacist will visit the US practice including hospice, outpatient palliative care clinic, inpatient palliative care unit and inpatient palliative care consult service. Several educational projects are also under development as a result of this rich informative exchange program including medication utilization surveys of pharmacists in the US and UK to quantify the observations made during educational exchange.

Book Synopsis Drugs in Palliative Care by : Andrew Dickman
Download or read book Drugs in Palliative Care written by Andrew Dickman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-21 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While palliative care has adopted a holistic approach to treatment, medication driven symptom management ostensibly forms the critical aspect of care. Prescribing in palliative care can be extremely complex because the patient may often have comorbidity, or occasionally multimorbidity. The associated polypharmacy further complicates the pharmacological management of symptoms being caused by the palliative condition. This can be daunting for healthcare professionals and can negatively impact upon the effectiveness of care provided. Fully revised and updated, the third edition of Drugs in Palliative Care provides an accessible and succinct overview of the main drugs that are encountered in palliative care clinical practice. The text begins by providing a clinical pharmacology overview and prescribing guidance, then contains over 160 monographs of palliative care drugs, in an easy to access A-Z format.
