Palliative Care
Palliative Care – from early in the course of a disease or illness that isn’t curative or modifiable. Most, if not all patients at the RHN would be in this category
- Aiming for an overlap of palliation, rehabilitation and disability management – a recognition of achieving all potential
- Living and enjoying life to the fullest
- Starting an Advance Care Plan (ACP) if appropriate
- This phase can encompass an entire (normal) life span and is not defined by diagnosis, the presence or absence of symptoms, or treatments
