Parkinson's disease, palliative care and older people: Part 2.
In the second of two articles on palliative care for people with Parkinson's disease, the authors consider other aspects of care relevant to this complex stage. They conclude that better understanding of its complexity, its innate variability and the roles extended team members can play help to improve the care given to patients.
