Dame Cicely Saunders (1918–2005) is considered a pioneering figure in modern palliative care. Her work redefined how society approaches end-of-life care, focusing on dignity, compassion, and relief from pain. Trained as a nurse, social worker, and eventually a physician, Saunders introduced the idea that terminally ill patients needed not only physical symptom management but also emotional and spiritual support. Saunders coined the term “total pain,” which encompasses physical, psychological, social, and spiritual suffering. This concept shifted the focus of care for terminally ill patients to a more holistic approach. In 1967, she founded St. Christopher’s Hospice in London, the world’s first modern hospice, which became a model for palliative care worldwide. Through her research and teachings, she promoted palliative care as an interdisciplinary practice involving medical professionals, counselors, and family members to address all aspects of a patient’s well-being. Her influence continues to be felt globally, as palliative care has grown into a recognized specialty in healthcare systems around the world. Her work laid the foundation for modern hospice care, ensuring that patients with terminal illnesses are treated with empathy, respect, and comprehensive support. #respitecare #nursing #caregiving #Health #hospices #eldercare #compassion #hospicesupport #hospicecompanies #palliativecare #hospicenurse #AdvancedCarePlanning #hospicecare #hospice #hospicehistory
