Visitor information – Everything you need to know about visiting our sites.
The Alfred Health Palliative Care team provides care for the person as a whole rather than focussing on just the disease, providing patients with greater control over their treatment and quality of life, through the prevention and relief of suffering.
How we care for you
The focus of palliative care is on the person rather than the disease; on managing symptoms to make the person feel as comfortable as possible.
