CareSearch Online palliative care information for GPs

Abstract

General practitioners occupy a unique place in caring for patients with terminal illnesses who wish to continue living in the community. Supporting and encouraging GPs to offer or continue providing palliative care is not only important for individual patients and their families but for the health system and the whole community. The GP pages in the CareSearch website are designed to provide immediate access to relevant content and palliative care resources to assist GPs in this role.
