A right, not a privilege
Why October?
For BELhospice, October is the month of palliative care. This year, World Hospice and Palliative Care Day falls on 10 October.
Every step you take this month can be a clear voice saying: palliative care is something that belongs to all of us, not only to those lucky enough to have heard of it. Access to palliative care shouldn’t come down to luck, chance or circumstance – it should be a right guaranteed to every one of us.
Why palliative care?
Palliative care is a holistic approach to looking after people with incurable illnesses – at home, surrounded by family, from the very first day of the diagnosis. BELhospice provides it free of charge to adult oncology patients and to children with serious and life-limiting illnesses and conditions, through home visits by a team of doctors, nurses, social workers and psychologists.
This October, we’re taking that quiet, everyday care and turning it into something loud – the kilometres that you turn into support and into a clear message: “we all deserve equal access to palliative care”.
