What is Palliative Care?

What is Palliative Care?

Organised by NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. Wednesday 4 May, 4pm.

What will we be talking about?

When you think about palliative care, what is the first thing that comes to mind? “Terminal illness”? “End of life”? “Comfort Care”? Whilst all these things are true, palliative care is so much more than this. It is about improving the quality of life of anyone facing a life-limiting condition and can be beneficial at lots points during someone’s health journey. During this session, we will be busting some myths when it comes to Palliative Care and also exploring the support that the NHSGGC Specialist Palliative Care Team can provide both colleagues and patients.

Who is this event for?

Open to staff across NHSGGC Health and Social Care staff, as well as people working in Care Homes or 3rd Sector.

When and where is it happening?

4.00-5.00pm, Online on MS Teams
