They do so by providing specialist palliative and end of life care support and advice as well as expert advice, education and role modelling to fellow healthcare professionals.


• Work within their scope of practice within the specialist service and practice autonomously as well as within the multi-disciplinary specialist palliative care team.
• Initiate and co-ordinate the assessment, planning, delivery and evaluation of the holistic needs of patients and families, to optimise health and wellbeing, following agreed policies, protocols and guidelines.
• To provide specialist care and use range of knowledge in complex decision making to determine evidence-based recommendations and therapeutic interventions to promote a high standard of Occupational Therapy practice.
