Recent expansion of existing domiciliary service into providing palliative care for patients who are discharge home from hospitals or choose to remain at home.

SPICT is used as a tool to help practitioners identify patients for palliative domiciliary service referrals.

Discuss advanced care plan at a suitable time and Bereavement support.

Other services include Day Care Services, Medical equipment loan, Education, Awareness programs.

Just heard about SPICT.

Our Charitable and non-profit organisation has been in existence for last 29 years and gradually improving in size and areas of coverage. To date we have served 7450 patients with an average of 12 home visits per patient. We are looking into further improving our standards of care, within our limited resources.

Specialized palliative unit that offers inpatient, outpatient, walk-in and consult service.

Other services includes regular visits to a number of non specialist hospitals and local clinics.

We just started introducing SPICT in consult service ( in non palliative units) to identify patients with palliative care needs for palliative referrals or to initiate goals of care discussion by primary team.

Will gradually also introduce this at the community/ health clinics setting soon
