Primary Care Consultation for Patients With Palliative Care Needs

"Training in PC for GPs The training program for GPs will meet the main training needs of GPs according to our previous study and feedback from elements of the Palliative Care Study Group of the Portuguese Association of General and Family Medicine (GESPal). The training program will have a total duration of 24 hours and will consist of two modules.~Consultation model for patients Consultations will take place every 3 weeks for a total period of 12 weeks. The consultation model will be divided into five areas (Summarize clinical information, Objective symptoms' management, Assessment and coding of chronic diseases and symptoms, planning clinical approach, (other) problems/concerns) to be addressed during the assessment. The five areas were constructed to be intuitive for GPs, following the records' structure used in Portuguese primary care."
