There are many misconceptions that people have about palliative and hospice care. Clare Henry explains that the term “palliative care” describes a wide spectrum of activities that are intended to support dying patients.

These activities include keeping the patient comfortable, helping families to stay engaged and informed and helping everyone involved to deal with the inevitable emotional issues that arise during this difficult time.

In essence, the focus of palliative care is to help facilitate the best possible quality of life for terminally ill patients, their family and their friends.
