Interdisciplinary palliative care consultation hours
The Competence Centre for Palliative Care at the USZ offers specialized palliative care to people with acute symptoms that are difficult to treat, an unstable disease situation or other complex problems. Our team of medical and nursing specialists will support you in all areas relating to a palliative illness.
For example, complex pain, fatigue, severe nausea or excessive demands at home.
