Patient Care

Palliative Care Explained
The recognition of the importance of Palliative Care has grown in recent years. It provides for the total care of the patient and their family, when faced with a progressive life limiting disease.

The majority of the patients seen by the service have cancer. This illness has an effect on the whole family as well as the patient. Therefore it is important to include family members in our support services.

The support offered may be symptom control, practical or emotional support with time to listen and discuss any concerns the patient or carers may need to explore.
