Training teams to spot end-of-life needs earlier
This trial tests whether better teamwork training and coordination in primary care helps professionals notice end-of-life needs sooner and respond more proactively. It may help improve planning and support for patients and families as serious illness progresses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your care organization must be a multi-professional health care home (a team-based practice).

- This must be a health care home, not a single clinic, group practice, or medical center.
- Your team needs at least three general practitioners (GPs).
- Your team also needs nurses (having no nurses would not fit).
