Community Specialist Palliative Care Clinics

The community specialist palliative care clinics provide support for palliative care patients and their families closer to home.

We provide assessment and treatment (for all diagnoses) in health centres. If the patient is too ill to attend the clinic, the team will visit them at home.

We work with local teams, especially GPs, to support local diagnosis and care, with access to the highest level of clinical expertise and quality. We believe that patient care should be delivered locally wherever possible.
