Palliative Care Consultation Services

Pediatrics Palliative Care Consultation offers active, comprehensive support for managing patients with life-threatening or life-limiting conditions. Palliative care can be appropriate at all stages of illness, not just the terminal phase, and can be provided at the same time as active or life-prolonging treatments. We can help with many aspects of care, including symptom management, communication challenges, complex decision-making, advance care planning and transitions throughout the course of an illness. We work closely with unit and hospital-based resources to offer seamless support to our primary teams, patients and families. The Palliative Care team is multidisciplinary, represented by a physician, an advance practice nurse, a social worker and a pastoral care professional.
