AbstractPharmacists are an integral factor in palliative medical care, especially in the context of specialised outpatient palliative care (in Germany „SAPV“). As part of a multi professional team, pharmacists take care of patients especially in complex supply situations. The drug therapy is always checked for side-effects and interactions, and the medication is adjusted to application methods which are still possible (e. g. subcutaneous administration or administration via gastro-intestinal probes). A 24/7 supply of urgently needed medicines needs to be ensured and clinical nutrition must be suited to the real needs of the patient. Prompt aseptic manufacturing of analgesic pumps and the supply of medical devices is a priority of regional specialised pharmacies, whilst the basic support can be provided by all pharmacies who wish to engage in this ethically demanding field.
