4 min read Palliative care is care that improves the quality of life for people living with advanced illnesses. As a palliative care doctor, I work within a multi-professional team, and our job – collectively – is to alleviate not only the physical symptoms that can be experienced by people with advanced illness (such as pain and breathlessness) but also the psychological, social, and spiritual concerns. Palliative care has been described as ‘radical autonomy’.

AbstractBackground Care homes are important places at the end-of-life for many and staff are the key providers of palliative and end-of-life care. The support provided to care homes from hospices has been shown to have clear benefits for residents and their families (Candy, Holman, Leurent, et al. Int J Nurs Stud. 2011;48(1):121–33).

Interesting (depressing) thread.
The ‘Assisted Dying Bill’ is on the front page of many newspapers, and at the top of most news websites today. It may feel like it has got to this stage organically, but much of its success is due to an extremely strong marketing campaign from one organisation - Dignity in Dying https://t.co/Uf7YGw7Bvn
