Palliative Care

Palliative Care

Palliative care is for people with an incurable, progressive life-threatening condition who are living in years, months, weeks of life. Palliative care focuses on holistic care of both the person and their significant others, looking at the quality of life of the whole person; physical, psychological, social and spiritual.

Palliative care is provided by all healthcare professionals across NUH. For some people where there is greater complexity, Specialist Palliative Care is required.
