Article: Palliative care for chronic respiratory disease: integrated care in outpatient settings

Chronic respiratory diseases are progressive and often life-limiting illnesses, however there is often a lack of awareness that patients may be entering the final year of their life requiring palliative care services. The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust in partnership with Compton Care have established multidisciplinary team meetings combining respiratory and palliative care outpatient clinics to address these issues. This article presents the impact of this service, now in to its fourth year, of delivering palliative care services to patients with chronic respiratory disease.
