Colm,
Two points
One of the problems of palliative care in the community is the provision of
palliative care pharmacies. How have you addressed this?
Some areas are using pharmacist led INR testing and prescribing. Is it
really something that requires a 'GP specialist'?

> 2. Cardiology,

> 4. Palliative care
> Others to start soon... rheumatology
> The GPs are trained to run these clinics and are coordinated with
