Patient Empowerment

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a life-limiting condition, you will likely hear the term “palliative care” at your consultations. What this entails will be different for everyone. 
 
“In the first weeks of my wife’s last illness her pain was uncontrollable. Fortunately our GP explained about the aims and objectives of palliative care – until then we knew nothing about hospices or palliative medicine”
 
This short video will help you to make the most of your clinical consultations, help you understand that it is okay to have questions and how to communicate effectively within a complicated medical setting.
