This episode features Professor Scott Murray (Primary Palliative Care Research Group, Usher Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK).
We are
delighted with this special edition, and that Palliative Medicine
has turned its focus on this important topic. Primary Palliative
Care, delivering palliative care by trained primary care
professionals can help meet the outstanding challenge of
bringing accessible palliative care to everyone with a
life-threatening illness.
This special edition features a number of new studies highlighting
the great potential to deliver palliative care in primary care. It
includes articles about how palliative care is integrated in higher
and lower income countries, including refugee settings. It reports
new education and service models for general practitioners and
paramedics, and the use of electronic symptom monitoring. Also two
studies explore that “less may be more” at the end of life - a
review of hospital admissions and influencing deprescribing in the
last phase of life in primary care. Listen to Professor Scott
Murray provide more details of the Editorial and details of the
articles included in the special edition.
