Generic palliative care.
There has recently been a move towards generic palliative care with the extension of the aims, as specified by the WHO (1) to patients with non-malignant diagnoses. Trinity Hospice, London, UK, changed their admissions policy to include any patient with a specialist palliative care need from January 1 1995. The contents of this brief report were first presented as a poster at the EAPC Conference, Barcelona, December 1995.
