SHA Care Services recognises that having a chronic disease, or life-limiting illness can take away a lot of freedoms. SHA Care Services think it's important that each individual will always have a choice over how they would like to receive comfort and care to help manage their quality of life.
OUR APPROACH TO PALLIATIVE CARE
Our palliative care support focuses on personalised care, comfort and wellbeing, working alongside the individual, their family and the relevant healthcare professionals involved in their care:
Recognise – Recognising changing needs and preferences and responding appropriately as circumstances develop.
Communication – Maintaining clear and sensitive communication with the individual, their family and those involved in their care.
Involve – Ensuring the individual remains central to decisions about their care and support, according to their wishes.
Support– Providing compassionate practical, emotional and social support to the individual and those important to them.
Plan –Supporting agreed care and support arrangements to reflect the individual's wishes, preferences and changing needs.
Ultimately, SHA Care Services recognises that it cannot change the outcome but we can affect the journey for each patient, which we will do to the full benefit of the individual.
