Palliative care
Overview
We provide palliative nursing care at home, everyday from 8pm to 8am. We can help you stay at home instead of going to hospital.
Contact your palliative care team to let them know you'd like to be referred to the [email protected] service.
We offer:
- nursing care and comfort
- urgent assessments
- urgent doses of your medicines
- reviewing and monitoring of new symptoms
- management and urgent set up of syringe drivers. These are small, battery-powered pumps that deliver medicines at a constant rate throughout the day and night
- supporting people who have recently left hospital
- clinical care
- support for people who are deteriorating quickly or who are close to death
- support for people with fear, anxiety or distress
- support for the families of people who are seriously ill
