AnnotationPalliative care is a central feature of all good clinical practice, whatever life-threatening illness and its stage, wherever the patient is receiving care. Specialist palliative care services can therefore include voluntary or NHS provision, from in-patient units to specialist community services. This paper discusses factors which have influenced past and present care provision and development, and suggests future models of provision.
