End of Life Care

Death and dying are inevitable. All of us will die therefore end of life care affects us all, at all ages, the living, the dying and the bereaved. For the purpose of this resource, ‘end of life care’ refers to those with an advanced, progressive, incurable illness. It enables the needs of both patient and family to be identified and met throughout the last phase of life. End of life care supports decision making and helps with more complex symptom management.
