Giving meds under palliative care at home with little help

"Giving meds under palliative care at home with little help"

About: Palliative Care / Bassetlaw Specialist Palliative Nursing Team.

(as a carer),

Looking after my mother with stage 4 cancer. Asked for help 2.30pm and was advised a GP would call, by 7.30pm still no call. I’m caring for my dear mother, giving meds under palliative care at home with not a lot of help, it’s frightening and exhausting and the 24hr palliative care team ? Forget it.
