PALLIATIVE CARE IS.....
❤️Care for the Carer ❤️

Palliative care involves activating networks of support and service (including respite) to enable carers to care for dying, while balancing their needs.

Palliative care is still misunderstood by many. We would like to help bust some of the myths by sharing this poster from Canadian Virtual Hospice.

Are there any myths that surprise you?

Just a reminder that there's help for those tender #COVID19 conversations for anyone updating loved ones or explaining unwelcome news.

#Pallicovid: in case it's of use, there's a letter template in #WithTheEndInMind that might be useful for those tender end of life situations where visiting is limited & patient is awake enough to dictate or even write to loved ones.
Here it is as a single page, with my love.

People are scared, overwhelmed. Find out who they are & what matters. Don’t forget to make a clear recommendation as a clinician...
