title: Comfort to the end.
abstract: Nurses working in care homes are increasingly likely to be providing palliative care, despite traditionally receiving little training in this area. The health and social care commissioning body for Northern Ireland has responded to public demand by funding a major training programme to give care home nurses the skills and confidence to care for people at the end of their lives and prevent inappropriate hospital admissions.
