Over palliatieve zorg

Overpalliatievezorg.nl is an information and support website about palliative care for people who are living with an incurable illness and for those close to them. Created in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport and Stichting Palliatieve Zorg Nederland, the site explains how palliative care can support wellbeing when a cure is no longer possible. It helps visitors explore care options, manage physical and psychological symptoms, and consider what matters to them in the final stage of life.

The website offers practical information on topics such as anxiety, nausea, care at home, psychosocial support and spiritual questions. It also provides guidance for talking with family and healthcare professionals about wishes, care needs and where someone would like to be. Personal stories share different experiences of living with serious illness and approaching death. Visitors can find information about the dying phase, frequently asked questions, local meetings, lectures and other events, as well as links to organisations that offer further help.
