Palliative care is about more than end-of-life support—it’s about comfort, dignity, and living well through serious illness. 🌿

Swipe through to explore the 5 stages of palliative care and how they support individuals and their families:

1️⃣ Creating a Bespoke Care Plan: A personalised care plan begins with a full assessment of medical history, symptoms, and personal goals—ensuring care is tailored to the individual’s needs.
2️⃣ Emotional, Spiritual & Psychological Support: Support goes beyond the physical. This stage focuses on helping individuals and families cope emotionally and spiritually, even while treatments continue.
3️⃣ Enacting the Care Plan: As needs evolve, the care plan is put into action. The focus shifts to comfort, dignity, and managing symptoms with compassion and expertise.
4️⃣ Transitioning to End-of-Life Care: In the final weeks or months, care becomes more intensive. The goal is to ensure peace, comfort, and support for both the individual and their loved ones.
5️⃣ Supporting Family & Loved Ones: Palliative care continues after loss. Bereavement support helps families process grief and adjust, with counselling, groups, or simply a listening ear.

Palliative care is about living well, not just preparing for the end.
Learn more about how each stage supports quality of life for you and your loved ones.
