Questions people ask

Typically €25–€50 per hour in Ireland. Enter your town above for real prices from providers near you.

A typical palliative care session can last from one to several hours, depending on the patient's needs and the specific services being provided. Ongoing assessments may require more frequent visits.

While general healthcare professionals can provide palliative care, having a qualified specialist, such as a palliative care nurse or physician, is often recommended for complex cases. They are trained to manage specific symptoms and coordinate comprehensive care.

Emergency or same-day palliative care services may be available, but this largely depends on the provider's capacity and the urgency of the situation. It's advisable to contact local services directly for immediate needs.
