Palliative Care and Neurological Conditions Position Statement

Wednesday, April 22, 2015

A joint position statement from PCA and the Neurological Alliance Australia. A greater recognition for the importance of access to palliative care for people with neurological conditions is essential. Palliative care can improve quality of life and symptom control for people living with neurological conditions, and support the person, their family and carer/s. Improved access and education is required.
