Specialist Palliative Care - NHFT

NHFT's Specialist Palliative Care (SPC) Team provides specialist support and advice to adults who have been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness (and are considered to be within the last 12 months of life). There are a number of different services that work together to provide specialist physical, psychological, and spiritual care to both patients and their families / carers. Patients are cared for in their homes through community teams, or in hospice inpatient units.
