Understanding your relative or friend's illness

In this day and age information is all around us and easily accessible. However, sometimes it can be overwhelming to know where to look or what information to trust. 

Here are some useful and endorsed information, resources and links to help you further understand your relative or friend’s illness.

Palliative Care Program

  • Your Palliative Care team can explain your relative or friend’s medical condition, the disease process and progression, anatomy and physiology, and especially why you get pain and other symptoms
  • If you are from a non-English speaking background, an interpreter can be arranged through the Palliative Care nurse or the Palliative Care Resource Worker on 4215 5700.
