| Annotation | The title used for these guidelines refers to the care needed when death is imminent, which differs from the previous palliative care in that it resembles a 'gear change'. The guidelines - which will be reviewed in December 1999 - have been designed for the use of health care professionals who are caring for dying patients in primary care and institutional settings, including acute hospitals and nursing homes. The principles are as applicable to the care of people dying of non-malignant conditions as of cancer. |
