Mental health conditions are common amongst today’s society. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people experience a mental health issue each year.

Gastroenterological conditions relate to digestion. Illnesses can be associated with areas of the body such as the stomach, rectum, anus, throat, small and large intestine.

Palliative Care or end of life care focuses on managing symptoms of terminal illnesses for those who are near the end of their lives. The goal for palliative care is to manage symptoms to maintain independence for as long as possible, whilst also protecting their dignity for whatever time is left.
