Key palliative care terms
s22(1)(a)(ii) - irrelevant material
Chronic conditions: Health conditions that are long-term, persistent, and often lead to a gradual deterioration of health and loss of independence. Chronic conditions can have acute stages of severity, with periods of higher and lower impacts and periods of stability. They occur at any age but become more common with older age. Chronic health conditions can reduce a person’s quality of life and create limitations and disability. They are the most common and leading cause of premature mortality, although they are not usually immediately life-threatening. A person with a progressive chronic health condition may benefit from engaging with palliative care services, without the need for end-of-life supports.
