Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of individuals and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual.
This part of the website contains a number of resources for adults with palliative care needs, their families and carers. They include disease specific help links, links to general service providers, information and support, policy documents, definitions of common palliative care terms and more.
This part of the website is aimed at trying to break down into very broad terms the stages that a person may go through during their time within the palliative care service.
In this section of the website you will find links to a variety of services aimed at helping you and your family. This part of the website has been broken into two sections, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, to make it easier for you to identify services you can avail off.
All Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care (AIIHPC) in collaboration with key stakeholders developed the Adult Palliative Hub for people with palliative care needs, their families, carers and friends in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland to provide information and resources about palliative care.
