Care of elderly relatives can become complicated when their health issues progress to more advanced stages. Our expert GPs at The Walcote Practice are able to advise you about all the available options to assist in caring for your elderly relative.

End-of-life Medical Care

It is a sad fact that your relative may eventually reach a point where they are unable to recover from a health condition and provisions will need to be made for their comfort and dignity at the end of life. Our GPs are highly experienced in providing excellent, sensitive and respectful end-of-life medical care and they are often able to provide a dedicated on call service at this time.

Our doctors are able to relieve any distressing symptoms which your relative may be experiencing, and to ensure that everyone is kept fully informed of expectations and, if appropriate, that care takes place in the preferred and familiar environment of the patient’s own home. Our private GPs will work together with you, your family and your relative to provide professional medical care, answer questions and offer reassurance and support during this delicate time.
