Abstract

A successful meeting of diverse members of the palliative care community around the world was held at the University of Cape Town, under the auspices of the Division of Family Medicine, on 13 and 14 September 2010. The belief that palliative care is a primary care discipline, and that research in this area is especially needed to encourage evidence-based practice, is the main motivation behind the group which organised the gathering, the International Primary Palliative Care Research Group.
