WHAT IS PALLIATIVE CARE?

People have misconceptions around what the term “palliative” means.

“Palliate,” the root word, means to cloak, to protect. Palliative care is whole person and family care that is central to all health care. Palliative care is not limited to end-of-life and or terminal-stage care – it’s “available for people living with any illness, at any age and at any stage of an illness”

Better communication about the various stages, palliative care versus end-of-life care versus terminal care, debunking myths around palliative care, and championing the benefits of palliative care will help shift these misconceptions.

Regardless of prognosis, we believe all persons with life-limiting illness should have access to palliative care to get relief from and investigation into their acute pain, and or other unwanted symptoms.

Accessing palliative care services, either in hospital

or in a consult capacity is not synonymous with

death, nor is it mutually exclusive from other

disease modifying or treatment therapies. Rather,

palliative care serves as a complement to these

treatments, helping to manage patient symptoms,

help patients cope with their illness and improve

their overall quality of life.
