title: Hospice care in motor neurone disease.
abstract: Motor neurone disease is not automatically linked in people's minds with palliative care and the hospice movement, but an increasing number of people with the condition are benefiting from the services offered by hospices. The authors review what these services entail, and explain how they can help patients and families cope with this distressing illness.
