End of Life Care focuses on supporting people approaching the final stages of life, prioritising comfort, dignity, symptom management and individual preferences. It may involve pain relief, management of breathlessness, advance care planning, communication with families and decisions about the appropriateness of further treatment. Care requires coordinated multidisciplinary working and consideration of the patient's capacity and wishes.
