More than Morphine: Understanding Palliative Care and Comfort | TOYLC26
About the event
About the Event
Morphine is often misunderstood and associated with dying, addiction, or fears of hastening death. Yet, when used appropriately, it can relieve distressing symptoms such as paing and breathlessness, and improve quality of life.
This session introduces the role of palliative care and hopes to address common myths and concerns about opiods, including how morphine is used safely to support comfort in patients suffering from life threatening illnesses.
