Abstract:
The authors outline the results of a survey, through interviews or posted questionnaires, of 122 Adelaide general practitioners. General practitioners shared or handed over most aspects of terminal care, particularly the spiritual and social aspects. Comprehensive care for these patients is directly related to the general experience of the general practitioners. The need for improved undergraduate and postgraduate education in terminal illness is stressed.
