End of life care at UH Bristol
End of life care is the term used to describe the support and
care given to people in the last year of their life. It helps
individuals with an advanced, progressive or incurable illness
to live as well as possible until they pass away, focussing on
their supportive and palliative care needs and those closest to
them.
This can be a difficult time for patients and their loved ones
not only in terms of medical care but the other areas of life it
touches on. This page provides information and sources of support
related to adult end of life care that you may find
useful. You can find information and support related to
children's palliative care here.
