When a patient no longer requires
specialist palliative care services, transfer from an inpatient palliative care
facility to residential care may be necessary. This research explored the
impact of this transition on the patient and their families and on the
interdisciplinary health care team treating the patient and makes recommendations for best managing the transition.
