The family doctor has always had a significant role in caring for terminally ill patients. Giving support to patients in their last few weeks or hours of life can be an emotionally demanding, clinically frustrating, time-consuming task. The advent of home palliative care services has given patients, families and doctors access to a home hospice team that can provide invaluable support.
家庭医生在照顾绝症患者方面一直发挥着重要作用。在患者生命的最后几周或几小时给予支持，可能是一项情感上要求很高、临床上令人沮丧且耗时的任务。居家姑息治疗服务的出现，让患者、家属和医生能够获得一支居家临终关怀团队的帮助，该团队可以提供非常宝贵的支持。
