End of Life Care for the Older Person

This CPD explores the principles of palliative care and end-of-life care. While these concepts are closely related, they are not identical. Both aim to enhance the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses, but they differ in scope and goals. Understanding both is essential for providing compassionate, person-centred care to older adults as they approach the end of life.
