* Understand the practical needs of the service user.
* Support the service user with their spiritual requirements.
* Help in treating (or handling) the side effects of their medical treatments. This is very important because service users with serious illnesses are often intimidated by side effects.
* Alleviate any sign or symptom caused by serious illness. Once again, this proves why professional support and personalised care is required.
A life-limiting illness has no cure, but can only be managed. These illnesses are also referred to as life-threatening' or 'terminal'. Other terms in common use to describe these illnesses are 'advanced' or 'progressive'. A few examples that fall under the gamut of life-limiting illnesses are motor neuron disease (MND), dementia, and advanced cancer. Being put under palliative care does not necessarily translate into a death scenario. Palliative care is offered at any stage of life merely as a means to improve the quality of life. Palliative care can be accompanied by any treatment modalities used to control your illnesses. Palliative care can be administered alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy to provide comfort to the service user and ease their pain.
