Palliative Care is:
Palliative medicine is the comprehensive treatment of the discomfort, symptoms and stress of serious illness. It does not replace a patient’s primary treatment, but works together with treatment at any point in a patient’s care.

Palliative medicine also addresses psychological, social and spiritual concerns – all to achieve the best quality of life possible for each patient.
