FAQ - Palliative Care
Need more information? Here are some common questions we get asked about end-of-life assistance:
Palliative care is often suggested by the clinical team, especially when receiving a diagnosis of a serious or terminal illness. Palliative care can be provided at any stage of the illness, so it is usually recommended when it will offer clear improvements to quality of life.
The aim of palliative support is to improve the patient’s ability to continue with daily activities and hobbies in their own home, whilst knowing they are safe and supported.
Palliative care aims to improve quality of life, so it can be started any time after a serious diagnosis. The patient and their loved ones may choose to use palliative care to assist with the family’s responsibilities, or choose a full-time option.
Palliative support can be provided for a few weeks up to several years, with most people receiving support for a number of months.
Although they are generally considered together, end-of-life care usually starts when a patient is in the last year of life. There are slightly different considerations for end of life care, but they can be provided as a continuation of palliative care.
