What is palliative care?<\/h2>\n \n

Palliative care is specialised medical support intended to improve the quality of life for those with serious illnesses like cancer or heart failure.<\/p>\n \n \n

Provided by highly-trained carers, palliative care offers targeted relief for symptoms and complements curative treatments, helping to alleviate the stress of the illness for both patient and their family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
