Приєднався 7 жов 2015
Palliative care is the physical, psychological, social and spiritual care provided by an inter-disciplinary team of experts to anyone with a life-threatening illness and their loved ones. Care is offered from the point of diagnosis and extends to bereavement support if needed. Over 90% of the care that APCC members provide is home-based with a focus on promoting quality of life.

Stewart’s Story – Living a longer, fuller life with palliative care
Stewart was a force of nature. A larger than life person who was greatly loved. His family have continued his legacy of giving by agreeing to participate in the making of this video. We got to know Stewart through the making of this video and our thanks go to his family, and to the multi-disciplinary team at Helderberg Hospice that gave us their time to detail his care. This is a story of living life to the fullest whilst facing death. It's a story about the value of palliative care and the many gifts that this specialised form of care gave to Stewart and his family, including an extra two years of life. We hope that you enjoy this uplifting and very special video and that it helps to explain why contacting APCC members at the point of diagnosis of a life-threatening illness is an act of hope, and not giving up.
