CPC Annual Lecture 2023 The Economics of Palliative Care

Just like palliative care itself, there is a lack of awareness about the health economics of palliative care. Yet in many cases, palliative care is highly cost-effective. In addition to improving the quality of life with those with life-limiting illnesses, investment in palliative care can reduce health care costs through the avoidance or reduction of unwarranted and costly diagnostics, ambulance trips, emergency department attendances and other futile care at the end-of-life. This lecture will delve into the latest evidence around the economics of palliative care, while also highlighting areas where there are gaps in the knowledge-base.
