title: [Issues and Challenges of End of Life at Home for the Treating Physician].
abstract: Palliative care and end of life at home remains a challenge for the general practitioner. The success is related to many factors, including the situation of the patient, his social and family environment, the presence of the various health professionals and the physician's engagement. Beyond the medical-technical skills, he plays a central coordinating role in an interdisciplinary team regularly adjusted according to the patient's evolution. The positive emotional impact on bereaved relatives after the end of life at home is often underestimated by the physician.
