The community care of terminally ill patients

R W Hunt et al. Aust Fam Physician. 1990 Dec.

Abstract

The authors outline the results of a survey, through interviews or posted questionnaires, of 122 Adelaide general practitioners. General practitioners shared or handed over most aspects of terminal care, particularly the spiritual and social aspects. Comprehensive care for these patients is directly related to the general experience of the general practitioners. The need for improved undergraduate and postgraduate education in terminal illness is stressed.
