…just like me, before attending the PEPA program, my colleagues also thought of palliative care as being limited to the care given to the terminal and actively dying person.  This view has now changed and we now know supportive and palliative care starts long before that stage. We now realise that all the patients under our care need supportive and palliative care considerations as they are living with a life-limiting illness and a huge burden of symptoms and psychosocial problems which make quality of life poor… We are now aware of when to refer a patient to the renal supportive care clinic (RSCC) and how to do it.
