Palliative Care
The palliative care approach is to focus on quality of life and good symptom control in patients whose disease is not responsive to curative treatment. It centres on holistic care of patients and relatives, whatever their disease. Psychological, social and spiritual aspects are dealt with as well as physical aspects.
Palliative care is provided by all healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses. When patients require more specialist palliative care, this is provided by the specialist palliative care services.
