The Scottish Palliative Care Guidelines have been developed by a multidisciplinary group of professionals and provide practical, evidence-informed expert guidance on palliative care. They are for both generalist and specialist providers of palliative care.

All comments will be collated in the consultation report, along with your name, job title, place of work (if applicable) and any declared interests. The guideline development group will consider each comment. The consultation report will be published with the guidelines on the RDS website. The final version of the guidelines will be published on the Right Decision Service.
