Palliative care can provide support for a better quality of life for you, your family, and your caregivers. #palliativecare

[Nathan Gray MD, FACP @NathanAGray]

Participants articulate gratitude in five ways: (1) appreciating others; (2) love; (3) need to reciprocate; (4) appreciating the little things; (5) solace amid serious illness #hpm #hapc https://t.co/zx01KR7YLu

Acknowledging your own emotions is just as important as recognizing those of your patient. Checking in with yourself helps you remain authentic and empathize effectively! #VitalTips #VitalTalk #Empathy #HealthcareCommunication

Can be scary to witness for family, loved ones and health care professionals looking on.

Understanding a little about what is happening may help alleviate some of that distress 🧵

[Palliative Medicine @PalliativeMedJ]

Proposed conditions that could improve continuity of care include knowing the other team; communicating intentionally; and acknowledging and valuing the role of the other team. #hpm #hapc #palliativecare https://t.co/94597JHEpB
