Abstract

New innovative models of people-centred integrated palliative care, involving health and social care staff working together with sensitized community networks, are flourishing around the world.

The integrated palliative care model proposed in this chapter involves a set of professional health and social care services, which envelop the support and assistance of family and volunteers from an empowered community capable of caring for their families and neighbours.
