ForwardPalliative Care Knowledge Self-Assessment
Palliative care is the holistic approach to provide relief to patients suffering from life threatening diseases and their families throughout the disease. This is mainly through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification, comprehensive assessment and management of physical, psychosocial and spiritual problems. With the rise of elderly population in the world patients needing palliative care will also increase. Family physicians, who are closest to the community and have longstanding relationships with their patients, have a major role to play in providing palliative care. Their broad knowledge, ability to communicate and coordinate with other health care resources place them in an ideal position to address complex issues faced by patients. Keeping up to date with knowledge, (including regulatory and legal issues), acquiring counseling skills, lack of support from team, and time constraints are some of the challenges faced by family physicians in providing palliative care and addressed in this virtual KSA.
