Introduction

McLeod (2018) said that the term ‘Palliative Care’ means special medical care for the people who are living as well as suffering from a serious illness. In addition, palliative care aims to reduce the stress of severe diseases and illnesses and their symptoms. According to Curie (2014), palliative care mainly aims to increase the quality of people (including patients and their family members) in the community. This paper, first, describes the history of palliative care and its development over time. Then, this paper discusses the key principles of palliatives and their importance in the health and social care sector. Finally, this paper discusses how to deliver palliative care to the community people.

In addition, this theory focuses on several spiritual, psychological, physical, and social distresses due to different physical and mental diseases and illnesses (Loscalzo, 2017).
