Abstract
Specialist teams in terminal care will hopefully become the norm in all District Health Authorities. Teams which are multi-disciplinary may provide better care, in that, a total district service can be encompassed and the service may be more acceptable to all health professionals. We describe the setting up of such a team and we believe that our experience will help others to proceed more quickly and efficiently.
