The Spectrum of Palliative care is a simple tool in poster format to help health and social care staff recognise when and how to start palliative care for someone with one or more life shortening conditions.
The tool helps staff recognise when someone’s health is changing and gives advice on how to give holistic palliative care relevant to the phases of their illness journey. It also includes key steps to support care of a person who is dying and their family or carers.
Thinking about where someone is on the Spectrum of Palliative Care is important for people living at home or in a care home, at a clinic visit and during a hospital admission.
