Primary Palliative Care

What is Primary Palliative Care?

Primary palliative care is palliative care practised by primary health care workers, who are the principal providers of integrated health care for people in local communities throughout their life. It includes early identification and triggering of palliative care as part of integrated and holistic chronic disease management, collaborating with specialist palliative care services where they exist, and strengthening underlying professional capabilities in primary care. (Munday et al., 2019)

Aims of our Special Interest Group

To bring together colleagues in the Asia Pacific Region who are working in primary care and/or palliative care with a vision for delivering palliative care in the community within primary care.
