Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the provision of palliative care, as it has health services and systems more broadly. Aside from the morbidity and mortality caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) itself, the wider pandemic implications continue to be felt in manifold ways. Research and practice responses to the early waves of COVID-19 focused on measures to mitigate and control the spread of the virus including modelling related to healthcare capacity, public health measures, provision of personal protective equipment, and vaccine development. However, more recent attention has turned to longer-term implications of these measures and ‘living with COVID’, including The Lancet Oncology Commission’s report into the unintended consequences for cancer diagnosis, care, and treatment.1 As we approach the 3-year milestone since the onset of COVID-19, we enter a period when the effects of pandemic-related protections and containment measures become noticeably more visible. This is especially true in circumstances where patients, their families, and their health professionals, are grappling with the effects of what have been called pandemic delays.
