Information for healthcare professionals

Click here now for COVID-19 specific information.

The information below is general and not specific to COVID-19.

We have compiled some essential information and useful links for GPs who are treating end of life and palliative care patients.

The aim of this information hub is to simplify the actions that GPs should consider undertaking, when they have seen a patient who is approaching their end of life. On occasions, these arrangements can be done at a comfortable pace, but equally, they may have to be made speedily, often when the GP is on call.
