Palliative Medicine have put out a call for papers for a special edition focussing on integrated care for people with palliative care needs.
“This proposal for a special edition of Palliative Medicine aims to address the increasingly important topic of integrated care in the context of palliative and end-of-life care service delivery.

The deadline is 30 March 2015.
