Abstract

People receiving palliative care may experience a wide range of physical symptoms. There are many practice-based considerations to think about when medication is used to help with symptom control, as this sixth article in our series on palliative and end-of-life care explains. It is important that the right decisions are made, with the least risk of harm. Understanding the real-life challenges associated with medication management can enable a collaborative and competent service that supports patients and their families at the end of life.
