About

Dr Seccombe is a specialist in palliative medicine. Palliative medicine is specialised medical care that focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of a serious illness. The goal is to improve the quality of life for both the patient and their family.

Palliative medicine is appropriate at any age and at any stage of a serious illness, and can be provided alongside curative treatment.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Dr Despina Seccombe
