Most expected deaths occur in acute hospitals, and medical staff providing end‐of‐life care
are generally not palliative medicine specialists. Through a voluntary self‐administered
survey, this study explored resident doctors' attitudes to palliative medicine and their
perceived educational needs. Fifty‐two resident doctors participated (response rate 39%),
mostly acknowledging the importance of palliative medicine to their practice and
emphasising that further postgraduate education is necessary.
