Palliative (supportive) care
What is palliative care?
Palliative care is sometimes called supportive care. It is usually offered to people who have a life-limiting illness. A life-limiting illness is one that will shorten a person’s life. But it may still mean that they continue to live an active life for many years.

What is end-of-life care?
End-of-life care is a special type of care usually given to you in the final year of your life. It can be hard to know exactly when someone is going to die. So, end-of-life care may not start until the final months, weeks or days of your life.
