What is palliative care?

Palliative care encompasses a range of medical treatments and supportive services to ensure the highest level of comfort for a patient in the last weeks, months or years of their life. If you or a loved one has a terminal illness, we're here to provide compassionate care for your physical, psychological or spiritual needs. We take a holistic and personalised approach to end-of-life care.

Depending on your condition, this may include everything from in-hospital pain management treatment to outpatient physiotherapy or counselling services for you and your family or carers. Our dedicated consultants and specialist nurses also work with local palliative care services to help make sure you can be cared for in the comfort of your home if and when you need it.
