St Peters Hospice is in Bristol. The service provides care to adults with life limiting illnesses and their families. As well as caring for people as inpatients, the hospice provides a service to people in their own home, a day hospice service and a support and advice service by telephone. We conducted an evidence-based desk top assessment of medicines optimisation from the 19 January to the 7 February 2024. We reviewed medicines optimisation within the safe key question. Medicines optimisation is about ensuring the right patients get the right choice of medicine, at the right time. It is a person-centred approach that improves safety, adherence to treatment and reduces waste. During our assessment we rated the medicines optimisation topic area as good. The overall rating for this service is good.
