    AbstractPalliative medicine is the medical part of total palliative care and has been a specialty of its own in United Kingdom since 1987. The development of palliative care has been slower in Denmark. The Danish Medical Association for Palliative Medicine was founded in 2001 and in 2003 initiated a theoretical specialist course in palliative medicine with participants from the 5 Nordic countries. Hospices and specialist palliative teams have been established but there is a great need for development of palliative care in hospitals and in the primary care, and a huge need for education and training of professionals, including doctors.
