Palliative medicine provides holistic medical care to people with advanced, progressive life-shortening illnesses (both cancer and non-malignant disease). It focuses on improving the quality of life of the person though physical symptom control, psychosocial support and spiritual care. An excellent knowledge of patho-physiology & pharmacology along with high level communication and decision making skills are required to be able to support symptom control and future care plans tailored to a person’s wishes and needs. The multi-perspectival approach of palliative medicine means that a desire to work as part of a multi-professional team and ability to liaise closely other specialties is essential. The ability to support and care for people (and those important to them) who are living with the effects of life-shortening illnesses means that palliative medicine can be an incredibly rewarding speciality to work in.
