Nurse and patient talking about MS palliative and hospice care

Palliative and hospice care

For people whose multiple sclerosis (MS) is advancing, and their life is significantly impacted by the condition, there may well be value in connecting with your local hospice. Many hospices offer services and support to people with life-limiting conditions. This may range from complementary therapies and breaks for carers through to palliative care. Palliative care aims to makes you as comfortable as possible and gives expert care with managing pain and other symptoms. Palliative care also involves psychological, social, and spiritual support for you and your family or carers. Hospice UK is a national charity for hospice and end of life care. They have information and advice about bereavement support, support for carers and a guide to hospice and end of life care.
