Palliative care is a caregiving approach aimed at optimising quality of life and reducing suffering for people with chronic and often terminal illnesses.
It is about more than just end-of-life care, it’s about making every day as comfortable, meaningful and fulfilling as possible, no matter where you are on the journey. It can provide relief from pain and symptoms, offer emotional and practical support and help families navigate the complexities of living with a long-term, life-limiting condition.
The approach should be holistic, putting the person with the condition at the centre and ensuring their physical, emotional and spiritual needs are met.
