| Annotation | In 1987, the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) recognised palliative medicine as a specialty, defining it as "the study and management of patients with far-advanced disease for whom the prognosis is limited and the focus of care is quality of life". The authors review research, indicating that palliative care in older people should not be neglected: older people should have the right to "live until they die". (RH). |
