What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialised support for individuals facing serious health challenges where the focus is on comfort, symptom control, and improving overall quality of life rather than curative treatment. It addresses physical symptoms such as pain, breathlessness, or nausea, alongside emotional and psychological needs including anxiety, sadness, and loneliness.

This form of care involves a holistic approach that respects a person’s values and choices, offering tailored support that adapts as their condition changes. Palliative care can be provided alongside other treatments or as an end-of-life service, ensuring compassionate care throughout all stages of serious illness.
