FAQs about Palliative Care

What is palliative care?


Palliative care is specialised support for individuals living with a life-limiting or serious illness. The aim is to improve quality of life by managing pain, relieving symptoms, and offering emotional, psychological, and spiritual support. It also provides comfort and practical help for both the individual and their loved ones throughout the course of the illness.

Palliative care can begin at any stage of a serious illness, not just in the final days. It focuses on comfort, symptom control, and emotional well-being.

End-of-life care is a specific stage of palliative care, provided in the last weeks or days of life, when the focus shifts to ensuring a peaceful and dignified passing.

 

Palliative care is suitable for anyone diagnosed with a condition that is not curable and may progress over time. This includes:

  • Cancer
  • Heart, kidney or liver failure
  • Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease
  • Motor neurone disease (MND)
  • Advanced neurological or respiratory conditions

It is appropriate for adults of all ages and can be adapted to a wide range of physical and emotional needs.

Palliative care can begin as soon as a life-limiting diagnosis is made. Early involvement can improve quality of life, help manage symptoms effectively, and provide vital emotional and practical support to both the individual and their family throughout the journey.

Yes. Many people prefer to receive palliative care in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Our carers work closely with healthcare professionals such as GPs, district nurses, and palliative specialists to ensure that care is safe, coordinated, and tailored to the individual’s wishes.
