National Palliative Care Week 2022
One of the great myths about palliative care is that it is only a synonym for end-of-life care. It is so much more than that. Palliative care helps people live their life as well as possible for as long as possible, when living with a life-limiting or terminal illness. It is person and family-centred care that considers the individual's physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, as well as the needs of their loved ones and carers.
The theme of this year’s National Palliative Care Week (NPCW); ‘Palliative Care It’s your right’, seeks to raise awareness about the rights of all Australians to access high-quality palliative care when and where they need it. It is also an opportunity to highlight and celebrate the work of not only hundreds of palliative care specialists and palliative care nurses, but also the care and support provided by general practitioners, volunteers, allied health professionals, community workers and everyone who works within the palliative care sector.
