The theme of this years campaign is: Quality Care – where it’s needed, when it’s needed.
A Palliative care approach...
- Can be provided in many different settings – at home, in a nursing home, in hospital, or in a hospice – depending on each person’s needs and preferences
- Aims to achieve the best possible quality of life for people with serious illness
- Is beneficial for anyone with a non-curable illness, regardless of age or condition
- May be suitable for a number of years, not just the weeks and days at the end of life
- Supports family, friends and carers both during an illness and afterwards.
