What is palliative care?
A gentle, jargon-free explanation for anyone facing a serious illness, and for the people who love them.
Palliative care is specialist support for anyone living with a serious or life-limiting illness. It is not only for the very end of life, it can help at any stage.
Our team focuses on comfort: easing pain and symptoms, supporting emotional wellbeing, and helping you and your family make the most of the time you have.
You do not have to stop other treatments to receive palliative care. And it is always free.
“Once someone explained what palliative care really meant, so much of our fear lifted.”
