The Pain and Symptom Management/ Palliative Care Program has collaborated with Fraser Health to create the hospice palliative care symptom guidelines. The guidelines are one of the resources available to health care professionals to improve health care outcomes in hospice palliative/end-of-life care.
Palliative care
The hospice palliative care symptom guidelines can be downloaded from the Fraser Health website. These guidelines relate to a patient’s trajectory being at end of life.
We encourage BC Cancer staff, and those who visit our site, to access and use these tools to guide their practice. They have been created according to the highest rigour possible, and are housed and managed in a way that continues to evolve their evidence base as required.
