What’s Palliative Care?

Palliative care helps those with a life-limiting illness live comfortably and with dignity, improving quality of life whilst supporting family and friends involved in care. Symptoms may be physical, emotional, spiritual or social and so services are delivered on an individual basis that may include:

• Relief of pain and other symptoms

• Resources such as equipment needed to aid care at home

• Assistance for families to come together to talk about sensitive issues

• Links to other services such as home help and financial support

• Support for people to meet cultural obligations

• Support for emotional, social and spiritual concerns

• Counselling and grief support

• Referrals to respite care services

• Bereavement support
