These fact sheets cover a range of symptoms of advanced illness, and useful information about planning ahead and end of life care.
They include information about:
- What might cause symptoms;
- What patients can do to help themselves;
- How symptoms are managed; and
- How different health professionals can be of assistance.
The fact sheets are a resource to help you gain understanding and help you cope with your situation. They are not intended to replace the care and advice from your general practitioner, specialist, community nurse or other health professionals.
The fact sheets have been developed by palliative care staff and hospice volunteers, with funding provided by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
