Surgical palliative care (SPC) integrates the principles of symptom-based care and relief of suffering into traditional surgical practice. From the perspectives of a bedside nurse, surgical critical care fellow, and surgical oncologist, there are natural opportunities to incorporate these principles and in doing so, progress towards SPC becoming the standard of practice. From the perspectives of a bedside nurse, surgical critical care fellow and surgical oncologist, this Perspective by Samuel Miller, Paige DeGoursey and Kevin Billingsley discusses how and when surgical palliative care (SPC) can be best practiced, highlighting different models and advocating for SPC becoming the standard of practice.
