For twenty years, the movement of the palliative care in France has taken scope and body. So that each one can confront his experiences and have a common action, the Société Française d'Accompagnement et de soins Pallaitifs (French Company of Accompaniment and palliative Care) was created in January 1990. Its purpose is to be a representative authority near the public authorities and decision makers. Rivage, since its creation, became a member of the SFAP and thus adheres to its ethics.
Accompany and cure together
To lavish active care by considering the person as a whole whatever the stage of development of the disease, tends to be the palliative care. The relief of the physical pain becomes as important then as that of the psychological, social and spiritual suffering. The palliative care is addressed to the patient as a human being, to his family and in his community, whether he is at home or in an institution. They integrate also the training and the support of the medical staff. The patient is regarded as a living being; his death, like a natural process. One does not hasten nor does one delay the death... The palliative care opens a third way between the euthanasia often called "assistance to die", and the "therapeutic fierceness". It is a question neither of precipitating the death of the patient, nor to undertake unreasonable treatments but to help him to live. Until the end. When it is in an advanced or terminal phase, the quality of life of the patient prevails. The medical staff seeks to relieve the suffering in its various components, to improve his comfort, to give a support for his entourage. They work in a multi-field team with the assistance of volunteers trained for this purpose. The palliative care generally stands for specific care units with or without beds of hospitalisation and for mobile teams within hospital wards or at home. These structures must have as an aim to integrate a dimension of training and research, particularly important today. Indeed, the palliative care is neither reduced to time of accompaniment at the end of the lifetime, nor limited to a pathology: cancer. With the appearance of diseases like AIDS, the increase in the life expectancy... any medical practitioner should be able to accompany his patients until their death, at the hospital and at home. It is
not a question of multiplying the units and specialized teams but that these must be
able to diffuse the spirit and the art of the palliative care so that this
way of doing things gets integrated gradually in the practice of the establishments and
all the structures of care.

To accompany people
at the end of their life requires great reflection of oneself and others. First of all, it is
essential to define our practice within society and to clearly deliniate the sphere of activities to avoid any
loss of focus.
