Palliative Care
How we can help you
Palliative care can improve symptoms and help you and your family to achieve the best possible quality of life throughout your illness. Help is available to anyone with any life-limiting illness, not only cancer.
We can help you to navigate through our complex care system, ensuring you have the key information you need. We will talk with you about your feelings, values and wishes for your care.
Our aim is to improve your quality of life while you face problems associated with your life-limiting illness. We aim to prevent and relieve your suffering by carefully treating your pain and other problems, be it physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
Palliative care is not just about caring for patients who are dying. The majority of our work is dedicated to improving the control of your symptoms, particularly if you have advanced disease, including advanced cancers. We can also help to make cancer treatment more tolerable.
If your family members are finding illness difficult to cope with, our team is available to help at any stage of your illness.
