Palliative care services
Palliative care services aim to maintain and, where possible, improve the quality of life of patients and their families facing problems associated with life-threatening illness.
Palliative care for adults:
(Source: World Health Organization (WHO) definition of palliative care 2002)
Palliative care team members visit patients at home provide symptom control and support, both for the patient and his/her loved ones. They also offer telephone advice.
The team looks after patients who have cancer or who have another progressive illness, such as heart failure, chronic respiratory disease, a neurological condition, and many more.
Services may see a patient at any stage of their illness: they may be involved for a short time when a patient is first diagnosed, to help them in the process, or for some nearing death.
In addition, they provide care at other times of need, for example in bereavement.
