There is also a palliative medical emphasis in acute geriatrics.
Here, patients with very advanced, incurable diseases such as tumours receive comprehensive palliative care.
Palliative medicine includes pain therapy and the relief of further symptoms of disease and the care for the patient with all related psychological, social and pastoral needs as well as the dialogue with the relatives.
The objective is to offer personalised necessary support so that the patient can achieve the best possible quality of life in the life time remaining.
