Abstract
- The article discusses a survey of palliative care need undertaken in two Great Britain hospitals to explore the extent of palliative care need. It also explores the agreement between medical professionals, nursing professionals and Gold Standards Framework(GSF) in the identification of such patients. According to GSF, over a third of hospital in-patients meet the criteria to palliative care need but consensus in identification of patients was poor.
