Toolkit for the development of palliative primary care

A resource to support national leaders and clinicians in Europe and worldwide to further develop palliative care services in primary care settings.

Newly updated EAPC WONCA Toolkit 2019

In 2018 at Astana, the World Health Organisation (WHO) resolved that palliative care was a key component of primary care services. In response to this, members of the PPCRG and EAPC Primary Care Reference Group have worked together to update the EAPC WONCA Toolkit for 2019.

The Toolkit is a resource that gives practical guidance on the steps required to develop palliative care in primary care and is available for download from: https://www.eapcnet.eu/eapc-groups/reference/primary-care
