Our Palliative and Terminal Care services
We have a caring team dedicated to providing Advanced Care services for palliative and terminal care. These usually apply to the aged or those with significant medical burdens.
Palliative services are given to relieve or sooth the symptoms of a disease or disorder without attempting to effect a cure.
Terminal services are for those whose time of death is approximately known.
What we can do
We can provide a full and comprehensive pharmacy support during these most difficult times.
This means we can provide you with:
- medicines and pharmaceuticals, in a form that most suits your needs;
- daily or more contact if required;
- close and regular liaison with your care providers such as your GP, Health Care team, and any others;
- assistance to navigate through the health system, especially the paperwork, so you can lead a more stress-free time;
- aseptic services such a prepared syringe for the Niki T34 (also the Graseby) syringe driver. This is a small, portable, battery-operated device that administers medicines subcutaneously over a given time period, usually 24 hours. They can be used short or long-term.
A prepared syringe is attached to the driver, then the syringe plunger is then moved forward at an controlled rate to deliver a consistent amount of medication.
An important factor is the accurate preparation of the syringe so it contains the exact amount of medications, in the correct volume, and is guaranteed sterile.
