The expertise and example of the hospice movement has had a major impact on the lives of many terminally ill cancer patients and their families, but the majority of deaths still occur within other institutions, usually acute hospitals. The support care team, operating in an advisory capacity, has developed as an important alternative for the care of the dying. This book, which is based on the experience of several such teams, has been written to provide a framework on which others may base their efforts to plan and operate services for terminally ill patients in hospital. The needs of patients, their families, and the support team members are reviewed. Also covered are problems that may be encountered; ranging from practical problems in obtaining funding and the selection of team members to problems in group dynamics and the ethics involved in decision-making.
