- Title
Editorial: The beginning of the End (of Life Care Strategy).
- Authors
Ingleton, Christine; Gott, Merryn; Kirk, Steve
- Abstract
In this article the authors discuss aspects of end of life care. The authors believe that if more patients would receive palliative and supportive care, more deaths could be prevented. They reflect on the publishing of "End of Life Strategy," by the Department of Health of England and the health care approach of letting people die at home. They argue that for some patients, death in a hospital may be preferred, and that health care professionals must be accommodating to patient preferences.
