Welcome to the SPICT Community
SPICT™ is used to help identify people with deteriorating health due to serious illnesses or health conditions, or frailty in older age so they benefit from holistic assessment, future care planning (or advance care planning) and palliative care.
General palliative care is provided by many health care staff and care workers in the community, care homes and hospitals. Palliative care specialists and teams offer additional expertise, advice, care and support.
Palliative care is integrated with the best available treatment of any underlying illnesses or health conditions taking account of what matters to the person, and it includes people important to them.
