Palliative Care
Palliative Care is one of the most sensitive clinical settings, and it is vital that healthcare professionals are equipped to deliver the highest standard of dignified, supportive care as a patient nears the end of their life. This SystmOne Module is now deployed to over eighty palliative hospital and care units around the UK, with each unit able to tailor SystmOne to suit their organisation’s needs.
