Abstract

A chronological literature review illustrates how undergraduate and postgraduate education and training in the care of the dying and bereaved is inadequate worldwide. This is despite the foundation of the modern hospice movement in the United Kingdom in 1967 and its wider dissemination as a specialty in 1985. This situation has implications for those doctors working in both primary and secondary care, and this paper describes a 3-day course which has been successfully run in the "West Midlands, UK, since 1997 for family physicians in training. A pre-course survey of 250, with a response rate of 54%, in 2003 revealed that 100% of respondents felt that they needed further training, and 51.5% said that they had had no previous training in palliative care.
