The purpose of palliative care is to help a person with a terminal illness (and their family), to live the rest of their life as fully and as comfortably as possible. In addition to symptom management, palliative care addresses the psychological, social, and spiritual needs of the patient and their family(1).
Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness and is intended to complement the patient’s primary treatment by managing symptoms such as pain, nausea, fatigue, and anxiety.
Palliative care does not mean the end of existing treatments. For example, if you are receiving treatment for cancer, you can receive palliative care at the same time, although you may choose to stop existing treatments(2).
If you or a loved one are in palliative care and have tried other medications and pain management methods that haven’t worked, we encourage you to seek medical advice and speak with one of our experienced practitioners. After assessing medical history, current treatments and symptoms, our practitioners will determine if plant based and endocannabinoid treatments are a suitable treatment option.
To make an appointment with one of our practitioners, click here to book online or call our friendly patient care team on 1300 508 888, who will work with you to find a suitable time for an appointment.
