Ninewells Hospital Palliative Care Services
About us
Where are we based?
Aims of the service
We aim to help you cope with your situation in the best way for you and we can help talk through any worries that you or your family might have whilst you are in hospital. If you wish we can arrange to see your family during visiting times or at a more convenient time. We can also help to discuss and plan your discharge home or to another place, such as a local hospice, or community hospital.
If your symptoms are complex you may be transferred to the Acute Palliative Care Unit in Ward 27 for a short period of time. Here you will receive intensive input by a specialist medical and nursing team to help improve your situation.
If your illness is serious and you are unable to go home, we will work closely with the doctors and nurses on your ward to help give you expert care at the end of your life.
