Palliative Care Service
The Palliative Care service supports patients with a progressive, life-limiting illness, to help maintain the best possible quality of life.
Specialist Palliative Care Nurses and our multi-disciplinary team including social workers, help patients monitor pain symptoms and offer support for end of life care in collaboration with the patient’s General Practitioner and treating specialists.
The service provides a specialist nursing consultancy service for symptom management to the community. We also work closely with GPs, Community Nurses and hospital staff to ensure continuity of care, and Silver Chain for end of life care.
Inpatient care is provided at Lismore, Tweed and Murwillumbah hospitals and assistance from trained volunteers is available for in-home respite, equipment loan and transport.
Hours: 8.00am - 5.00pm (Monday to Friday).
