Within a healthcare team, there are three levels of palliative care provision with increasing specialisation from Level 1 to Level 3.
Level 1
Level 1: is is a Palliative Care Approach and is provided in any location - at your home, in hospital or in a nursing home by all healthcare professionals as part of their role. Care at home is usually provided by your Primary Care Team. Level 1 includes managing basic symptoms and providing educational supports for you and your family. Example: Being linked in with your GP or Public Health Nurse on the Primary Care team will provide you with signposts to other healthcare professionals and information resources for you and those closest to you.
