Getting the right medicines to the right person at the right time can make all the difference. For Nurse Practitioner Juliane Samara, quality use of medicines is about much more than prescribing. It's about anticipating people's needs, coordinating care, and ensuring they have timely access to the medicines and support they need to remain where they want to be. Her People of Palliative Care story reflects the importance of anticipatory prescribing, timely access to medicines and coordinated care in supporting quality end-of-life care in the community.
