The Department of Palliative Medicine at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) offers patients and their relatives at NCT Heidelberg comprehensive advisory and outpatient advice and treatment - especially in the case of severe, advanced illnesses, complex physical and psychosocial stress or in critical situations.
Palliative Care at NCT Heidelberg
Often additional expertise and resources are needed when it comes to
- treatment of refractory symptoms (pain, shortness of breath, nausea, etc.),
- oncological supportive therapy,
- acute medical crisis planning
- ethically relevant questions,
- psychosocial support,
- care planning (bridge care of the Department of Palliative Medicine), or
- the home care situation itself (SAPV team SAPHiR).

In this way, patients of the NCT can be cared for by the palliative medical outpatient clinic as a fixed consultation hour in the NCT Heidelberg as well as by short-term, low-threshold visits within the framework of the existing appointments in the day clinics at NCT Heidelberg. There is a close connection with the other counseling services at NCT (social services, psycho-oncology, nutritional, physical activity, ethics consultation, etc.).
In this way, comprehensive, multi-professional, early and cross-sector support can be provided even in particularly stressful situations.
Outpatient, i.e. at home or in inpatient care facilities and hospices, palliative medical and nursing co-treatment. The abbreviation SAPHiR means: “Specialized outpatient palliative care in Heidelberg and in the Rhein-Neckar district”.
Comprehensive, multi-professional (palliative) medical treatment of complex stressed patients, including care for their relatives. The palliative care unit of the St. Vincentius Hospital is a cooperation project between the Heidelberg University Hospital and the Evangelical City Mission Heidelberg.
