Definition of Palliative Care :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Palliative care is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “...an approach which improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing life-threatening illness, through the prevention, assessment and treatment of pain and other physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems”.
 
Palliative care is generally underpinned by the following principles :
 
  • A focus on quality of life, including good symptom control

  • A whole person approach, taking into account the person's past and current situation

  • Care that focuses on both the person with the illness and those that matter to the person

  • A respect for patient autonomy and choice

  • An emphasis on open and sensitive communication
