[Palliation in the primary care sector--shared care]. / Palliation i primaersektoren--shared care.

Palliative homecare has been a primary care task for a long time. The introduction of palliative specialist teams has given patients with severe symptoms the possibility of getting qualified help, but has also resulted in a general tendency to exclude primary care from palliative care. Barriers to providing shared care are the organization of palliative care and the working culture of health professionals. Increased focus on shared care research is needed in order to optimise palliative home care.
