What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care for people with serious or life-threatening illness aims to help the patient live more comfortably rather than curing the disease.
This treatment approach improves the patient's quality of life by addressing social, psychological and spiritual needs as well as physical needs such as pain and symptom relief.
The Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Hospice South Auckland is Alan Beal.
Following consent from the patient, referral can be made by a General Practitioner, hospital doctor or specialist, district nurse, Cancer Society nurse or a family member.
