St Luke Hospice staff primarily focus on end-of-life care within hospice settings, providing emotional and physical support to patients. Palliative Care Nurses also deliver symptom management and comfort but may work across broader healthcare environments, including hospitals and clinics. While both roles require similar qualifications, their work settings and specific focus areas differ slightly.
