Title:

Symptom management, comfort and well-being

Description:

Effective symptom management is crucial in end-of-life care. It enables patients to make the most of their remaining time with a reasonable quality of life, enjoying their family and friends. It helps to put them in a position to make choices and decisions about their own care.

This set of sessions introduces the basic principles and process of helping to improve symptom control for these patients. It is intended to be informative for those who are not responsible for symptom management, but who frequently witness the impact of uncontrolled symptoms on patient’s lives.

Health professionals who are responsible for this aspect of care should access the full suite of e-learning sessions and undertake other training and education.
