What is Palliative Care?
Palliative Care provides support and advice to people with a life-limiting, treatable, but not curable illness, and those close to them.
Care is focussed on improving quality of life by: managing any symptoms, offering emotional, psychological and spiritual support; also, offering practical support, including planning for the future.
Please speak to your medical team for further information on local Palliative Care services.
