What is Palliative Care?

Palliative care is specialised medical and emotional support for individuals living with serious, chronic, or life-limiting conditions. It aims to relieve symptoms such as pain, breathlessness, and fatigue while addressing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. Unlike curative treatments, palliative care focuses on comfort, quality of life, and holistic wellbeing.

This care is suitable for people at any stage of illness and can be provided alongside treatments aimed at managing disease. It often includes symptom management, medication administration, counselling, and end-of-life care when needed, all delivered by trained professionals in a sensitive and supportive setting.
