Abstract

Managing pain is one of the most important aspects of end of life care. One in three people who are dying are severely or overwhelmingly affected by pain in the final week of life, according to the Marie Curie-funded Time to Care report. Yet inconsistencies in care and overstretched services mean many patients do not receive adequate pain management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
