| Annotation | Although surveys show that around three-quarters of terminally ill patients want to die at home, at present only about a quarter of them do. However, with well co-ordinated palliative care management, primary care teams are well placed to improve these figures. The authors review the different strategies for ensuring that a dying patient's wish to die at home is realised. (RH). |
