About this event

WHAT?

Palliative Medicine is a subspecialty that holistically care for patients facing life-limiting illness, by alleviating their distress across physical, psychological, functional, social and spiritual domain.

Pain is one of the commonest symptoms at the end of life and Singaporeans have consistently reported that one of their greatest fears is to experience poorly controlled pain when they are dying.

How is pain managed in Palliative Care? Do all patients need to take morphine? Do patients become addicted to morphine or require incrementally higher doses because their body “get used” to the drug, making it less effective over time?

These are common questions that patients and their families would ask their doctors. In this talk, Dr Neo will address these questions relating to both physical and non-physical pain experience by patients in the advanced stages of their diseases.

Mindfulness

Pain is an inevitable part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can limit our mobility and impact our well-being. Join us to explore how mindfulness practices can help manage pain and transform the way we experience it, fostering greater ease and resilience.
