FAQs
Do you only support patients with cancer?
No. IMPaCT supports patients with any life-limiting condition. Examples include dementia, motor neurone disease (MND), neurological diseases like Parkinson's, and advanced heart disease, among others.
Do you support children with life-limiting conditions?
The IMPaCT service is for patients aged 18 or over – unfortunately, we’re not able to support children. However, we have links with specialist paediatric palliative care services and can provide you with their contact details.
Can you support someone who is already in hospital?
We can contact the palliative care team of the hospital. They can liaise directly with the ward looking after the person and offer palliative care support.
Do you provide bereavement support?
Yes. IMPaCT can offer you bereavement support if the person lived in Liverpool or South Sefton and died within the last year.
