| Annotation | A series of six brief reviews especially commissioned for the inaugural BMJ Spotlight series. It focuses on palliative care for non-cancer conditions and the role that it should play in modern medical care of the hospital patient or care home resident. It highlights the work being undertaken by the Dying Matters coalition; the current document published this year, of the UK's General Medical Council, "Treatment and Care towards the End of Life"; and initiatives that will raise the awareness of death and dying well in our modern society. (KJ/RH). |
