The article presents a study which examines the effectiveness of the Availability, Current issues and Anticipation (ACA) training programme for general practitioners on patient-reported outcomes. The participants in the controlled trial were the general practitioners (GPs) who attended a two-year Palliative Care Training Course in the Netherlands. The study shows no significant difference over time between the intervention and control groups.
