It has clearly defined aims of service, referral pathways and discharge processes. The Specialist Palliative Care Service provides evidence-based support to adults with a life shortening diagnosis, for both non-malignant and malignant diseases, registered with a Portsmouth City General Practitioner. It is available at any point during a person's life shortening illness, not just at the end of their life, where their symptoms, physical or psychological, have not responded to routine therapeutic interventions. Following a palliative diagnosis, we aim to empower the patient, working with them and their care givers, to "Live well until they are dying", using a flexible holistic approach. Contacts and support utilise various mediums such as face to face visiting, remote on-line consultation and telephone support.
