An Introduction into Palliative Rehabilitation

Introduction

Rehabilitative palliative care is centred on patients’ personal goals and provides a culture of enablement, through which the multidisciplinary hospice team support patients to achieve their priorities. It optimises choice, independence, autonomy and dignity.

Rehabilitative palliative care has potential to reduce disability and dependence, both on families but also on hospices and health and social care services.

This session will:

• Introduce you to the concept of rehabilitative palliative care
• Explain its value and help you consider how you might implement it in your workplace
