Web site: Carer administration of as-needed subcutaneous medication

Seriously ill people often want to spend their last few days of life at home being cared for by family and friends.  This web site details how carers, who are looking after a very ill person at home can be taught to give extra (top-up) doses of medication when experiencing "breakthrough" symptoms not controlled by their regular medication.  This information and web site should only be used by carers who have been identified and assessed as suitable by healthcare teams.
