Blog 18: Third Answer

1. How can a clinical pharmacist best provide quality patient consultations?

2. A good consultation is achieved when the pharmacist incorporates palliative care.

3. Palliative care is additional care that is meant to help patients with a chronic or serious illness, such as cancer. Palliative care is not a cure, but helps the patient on an emotional and spiritual level. Palliative care is unique because it aims at helping the patient and their family to continue living the best quality of life.
