They may help with care planning, liaising with other healthcare providers, and facilitating smooth transitions between care settings.

After a patient's passing, Marie Curie nurses often offer support to the bereaved family members. They may provide information on grief, offer counselling or refer them to appropriate support services.

Marie Curie nurses undergo specialised training in palliative and end-of-life care to ensure they have the skills and knowledge required to provide compassionate and high-quality care to individuals with terminal illnesses. Their goal is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families during a challenging and sensitive time.
