About this project

Palliative care is specialized care for people who are dealing with serious and often life-threatening illness. The aim is to provide relief and support for pain and other physical and psychological symptoms, and in turn provide the best quality of life possible.

No. While many people receive this type of care if they have a life-threatening or terminal illness, others may see a change in their symptoms and may stop needing palliative care.

We spoke to many patients about the project. Some felt comfortable sharing their experiences but others did not.
