Services Offered

Our palliative home care center is located in the Songklanagarind Hospital, a 1000-bed teaching hospital and the largest hospital in Southern Thailand. Our center offers home and community care services for patients with cancers and chronic diseases, residency training and research. Under the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ with the National Taiwan University, we have been exchanging staff and making residency visits for palliative care training.

SPICT Uses

Our center has back-translated and adapted SPICT-LIS in clinical practice. The referral cases from other specialists including internal medicine, surgery and oncology are screened with SPICT-LIS to identify if palliative care would be benefit. We recognise that SPICT-LIS has potential for improvement and in continuing development of palliative care.

Other Information

We are open to collaboration from any colleagues interested in our work and SPICT-LIS.
