Who do I turn to for symptom management?

People with life-limiting illnesses often have symptoms relating to their illness. In palliative care, we aim to improve these symptoms as much as possible to allow people to enjoy the best quality of life possible. 

If you are struggling with symptoms, your GP can often help manage these. If more specialist help is required, then you can be referred to your local Specialist Palliative Care Team. 

This website has information and leaflets that may help you understand what help you might need, or what medicines might be used to help you.
