    AbstractDeveloping accountable and appropriate care services depends on listening to the views of service users. This nurse-led, qualitative study explored 10 palliative care patients' views of their care in hospital and at home using non-standard interviews. A total of 10 categories emerged, some of which are not reflected well in extant literature. However, some smaller studies show comparable results, which confirms the validity of these findings. These findings can inform the planning of services and are repeatable and generalizable. Implications for nursing and planning for palliative care are discussed.
