AbstractThe family doctor has always had a significant role in caring for terminally ill patients. Giving support to patients in their last few weeks or hours of life can be an emotionally demanding, clinically frustrating, time-consuming task. The advent of home palliative care services has given patients, families and doctors access to a home hospice team that can provide invaluable support.
