Palliative Care

Palliative care is a holistic approach to care that aims to improve the quality of life for patients and their families facing serious illness. It is focused on providing relief from symptoms, pain and stress of a serious illness, regardless of the diagnosis or stage of the disease. Palliative care addresses the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of the patient, aiming to optimize their comfort and well-being.

HPHNS works closely with the Hospice/ Cancer care and provides emotional and loving support and advice which is always available from the sisters and nurses. We are very sensitive to the needs of the patients and families in this difficult time and will provide as much nursing care and support as you need.

Terminal Care, End stage

Key aspects of palliative care include:

Symptom management: This often involves a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals working together to address the patient's physical symptoms.
Emotional and psychological support: Palliative care also provides emotional and psychological support to patients and their families, helping them cope with the challenges of a serious illness. This may involve counselling, support groups, or other forms of psychosocial support to address anxiety, depression, fear, and existential distress.
Communication and advance care planning: Palliative care encourages open and honest communication between patients, families, and healthcare providers about the patient's goals, preferences, and wishes for care. This includes discussions about advance care planning, such as advance directives and end-of-life care preferences, to ensure that the patient's wishes are honoured.
Coordination of care: Palliative care involves coordinating care across different healthcare settings and specialties to ensure continuity and consistency of care. This may involve collaborating with primary care providers, specialists, hospice services, and other healthcare professionals to address the patient's complex needs.
End of life nursing care: End-of-life nursing care, also known as hospice care, is a specialized form of care provided to individuals who are nearing the end of life. It focuses on providing comfort and support to patients and their families during the final stages of a terminal illness.
Family involvement and bereavement support: involves supporting the patient's family members and loved ones throughout the dying process and beyond. This includes providing education, guidance, and practical support to help families cope with the impending loss and prepare for bereavement.
Respect of patients dignity: End-of-life nursing care respects the dignity, autonomy, and wishes of the dying patient, honouring their preferences for care, comfort measures, and end-of-life rituals. This may involve facilitating discussions about advance directives, palliative sedation, and other end-of-life decisions to ensure that the patient's wishes are honoured.
Emotional and spiritual support: End-of-life nursing care provides emotional and spiritual support to patients and their families, helping them navigate the complex emotions and spiritual concerns that arise as death approaches. This may involve counselling, presence, and spiritual care to address fear, anxiety, grief, and existential distress.
