1 PC15 Palliative care Rationale and general practice context 1. Palliative care requires a multidisciplinary approach, with the general practitioner playing a central and increasing role, especially in the management of domiciliary care. For example, in 2002, of the approximate 134,000 deaths that occurred in Australia, about 64,000 (almost 50%) of patients would have been cared for by a GP several times during their last 12 months of life Most patients who die an easily predictable death from a diagnosed terminal illness want to be cared for at home (>50%). However, only about 16% are able to exercise this option, as most patients now die in hospital; only 20% of people die in hospices and 10% in nursing homes The community sector is increasingly caring for people at home rather than in hospital, and GPs often coordinate sometimes fragmented and competing community services and advocate on behalf of patients, their families and carers for community based palliative care. 6,7 4. Like other doctors, GPs are largely trained to work with curative or life prolonging models of health and many GPs have identified that they require further education in the skills that underpin the practice of palliative care, such as basic communication skills, symptom control and management skills, and skills for dealing with death and dying The provision of good general practice and community based palliative care requires GPs to organise their practices appropriately to help build and configure best use of community based health networks (eg. specialist hospital based to community based teams) to meet the palliative care needs of their patients, and their families and carers, for quality, comprehensive healthcare at the end-of-life in the setting of their choice Like any other area of medicine, GPs need to utilise evidence based clinical decisions when providing general practice palliative care and access current palliative evidence bases such as CareSearch 10 and Therapeutic guidelines palliative care There are government initiatives in palliative care, and GPs need to work in conjunction with government health priorities and other organisations toward better palliative care services.
