Abstract
Tucked away in the outskirts of Cork City is Marymount University Hospital and Hospice. This facility with 44 beds houses the most frail, immunocom- promised and terminally ill patients from all across Munster. That being said, providing palliative care was significantly affected by the challenges brought on from the ongoing global pandemic.
