ABSTRACT
The advancement in the knowledge and skills required by the Specialist Community Practitioner District Nurse (SCPDN) is integral in supporting end-of-life care. An integrated and multi-disciplinary team approach is pivotal for high quality patient care delivery, which involves individuals and their significant others in decision-making at a sensitive time. Advanced care planning and the use of therapeutic communication by the SCPDN can help to support autonomy in individuals during uncertain times, enabling them to express their end-of-life wishes. The SCPDN, guided by the evidence base, must provide holistic care and manage palliation while ensuring the patient is at the centre of all decisions.
