Palliative Care
Our palliative care service specialists include nurses, doctors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers/counsellors and assistant practitioners.
We give telephone advice and see people in their homes regarding end of life issues, but also provide symptom control and support at other times of need, whether they have cancer or another progressive illness, such as heart failure, chronic respiratory diseases, neurological conditions and many more.
We may even be involved for a short time when someone is first diagnosed with the condition, to help them in the process.
As well as our community teams, we also have a hospital team of palliative care nurses and doctors caring for patients within St Pancras Hospital, University College London Hospitals (UCLH) and the HCA sites at Harley Street Clinic, Harley Street on T15 and Princess Grace Hospital. This provides good links with other professionals working in the community, local hospitals and hospices, and the paediatric community palliative care team (LifeForce).
Watch an interview with some of the team to find out more about the role of palliative care.
