The role of the IAPC Pharmacist Forum is to listen to all aspects of palliative care issues, discuss different viewpoints, facilitate communication, and clarify the position of the IAPC.

This will be carried out by producing policy papers for discussion, responding to ongoing palliative care issues, pertaining to Pharmacists, as they arise and ensuring that the voice of the IAPC is clear in any discussions, policy documents, submissions, or dialogues. The forum will also be a space for support and networking for pharmacists working in palliative care. As this is a forum exclusively for pharmacists, it will not reflect the multidisciplinary membership of the IAPC.
