For Pharmacists
Your relationship with patients is critical to ensure they receive care they truly want.
Pharmacist2Pharmacist helps pharmacy professionals provide accurate information and up-to-date care to patients with prescriptions for aid-in-dying medications. It can be difficult to discuss a patient’s terminal illness and death — and crucial for pharmacists to knowledgeably consult directly with patients and caregivers about medications intended to bring about a peaceful death.
The knowledge you give to patients and caregivers will help patients understand the aid-in-dying medication protocols. A resource tailored to pharmacists, Pharmacist2Pharmacist offers you important documents and a readily available, free and confidential telephone consultation with a pharmacist in Oregon or Washington experienced with medical aid in dying.
Pharmacist2Pharmacist is ready with information and guidance to answer questions about medical aid in dying.
