Level 3
Level 3: is is Specialist Palliative Care and is provided in any location - at your home, in hospital, or in a nursing home - by specialist palliative care teams that are made up of healthcare professionals who work solely in palliative care and have extensive knowledge and skills in this specialty. As with Levels 1 and 2 palliative care, this can be provided to you at home, in the community or in a hospital. You may be discharged from a Level 3 specialist care if your needs become less complex; you can be referred again should you need it.

Most of your palliative care needs will be met at Levels 1 and 2. End-of-life care can be provided at Levels 1, 2 and 3.
