Palliative / End of Life Care

Do you, or someone you love, have a serious illness such as cancer, heart failure, lung disease or kidney failure? We provide palliative care to help you stay safely at home, while your pain and other symptoms are treated. We will work hand in hand with your medical team to help you understand your disease and your treatment options, and we will help you, and your family to cope with the everyday challenges of living with a serious illness.

Palliative care or end of life care should begin when you need it and may last a few days, or for months or years. People in lots of different situations can benefit from palliative care. Some of them may be expected to die within the next few hours or days. Others receive end of life care over many months.

Who needs palliative care?

People are considered to be approaching the end of life when they are likely to die within the next 12 months, although this is not always possible to predict. This includes people whose death is imminent, as well as people who:

  • Have an advanced incurable illness, such as cancer, dementia or motor neurone disease.
  • Are generally frail and have co-existing conditions that mean they are expected to die within 12 months.
  • Have existing conditions if they are at risk of dying from a sudden crisis in their condition.
  • Have a life-threatening acute condition caused by a sudden catastrophic event, such as an accident or stroke.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidance on the care of dying adults in the last days of life. This guidance covers how to manage common symptoms, as well as dignity and respect for the dying person, their relatives and carers.

With our palliative care, we ensure that you live as well as possible until you die and to die with dignity. We will ask you about your wishes and preferences, and take these into account as we work with you to plan your care. We will also support your family, carers or other people who are important to you. Indeed, our palliative care also involves psychological, social and spiritual support for you and your family or carers, in a manner that is holistic bearing in mind that we are dealing a “whole” person, not just your illness or symptoms.

Palliative care is not just for the end of life – you may receive palliative care earlier in your illness, while you are still receiving other therapies to treat your condition. We understand that you have made a decision to receive care and to die in your own home, and we strive to make this as comfortable and dignified as possible. Our Palliative carers are kind, loving, caring and compassionate and having this extra layer of support at home can make a big difference to your quality of life.
