Palliative advice
Like a cloak that protects.
“Pallium” means cloak. Palliative care is meant to wrap the seriously ill person in protection.
Quality of life
Being able and willing to live, despite serious illness.
Palliative care aims to improve the lives of patients and their families: by preventing and relieving suffering, and by recognising and treating pain and other symptoms early, physical, emotional and spiritual.
Specially trained palliative care staff advise you. Together we work out what is needed so that as many needs as possible are met.
