Main Results:

  • Primary care contact was mainly with district nurses, general practitioners, and Macmillan nurses.
  • Limited access to other palliative care services was reported.
  • Lay carers frequently lacked essential information and support for caregiving.

Conclusions:

  • Significant gaps exist in the provision of comprehensive palliative care services for terminally ill patients at home.
  • Improved support and information for lay carers are crucial for effective home-based palliative care.
  • Further research is needed to address palliative care access for non-cancer patients.
