"What is home-based #PalliativeCare?" We get that question a lot. This blog post should help answer any questions that you may have. getpalliativecare.org/all-about-home…

Attn Clinicians: Is your patient appropriate for a #palliativecare referral? It's based strictly on need, not prognosis and will assist you in managing complex pain, symptoms, comorbidities, patient/family communication, etc. Palliative care will also save you time.

#PalliativeCare improves #QualityofLife for anyone #suffering from any limiting #illness, and can support the patient and their loved ones. It is a #multidisciplinary approach that caters to patients of all ages, #adults and #children alike.

Marking One Year of Collaboration We were delighted to reflect on our joint efforts towards the national cancer plan, led by the Ministry of Public Health. This significant national initiative aims to advocate for the importance of palliative care in the lives of cancer patients

If you have an illness, and you are feeling depressed or anxious, ask for a referral to the #palliativecare team. This can be treated at the same time as your illness. Together you’ll figure out what works best for you. getpalliativecare.org/how-to-manage-…

People question when is the right time to introduce #PalliativeCare. There's no right or wrong answer, but, in fact, ANY patient with a life-limiting illness can benefit; the earlier that PC intervenes, the better the outcome on patient's quality of life.

Another common question: is #PalliativeCare only for patients w #cancer? No. PC is for patients who suffer from any life-limiting illness, or illness/treatment that affects their #QualityOfLife. PC also helps coordinate care, when the care feels fragmented among several providers

What you should remember about #depression and serious illness: It is common-you are not alone It is often unrecognized and under-diagnosed. Getting treatment for depression can reduce your pain and fatigue and improve your quality of life getpalliativecare.org/depression-nor…
