When a mobile palliative care team arrives at a residence for people with disabilities: What questions does that raise? What's at stake?

The palliative care support team mission is to spread the palliative culture wherever patients need this care, including in the structures in charge of people with disabilities. Those centres are increasingly soliciting the palliative care support team. The experiences presented in this study illustrate the challenge faced by these teams, as well as the ethical issues raised by the palliative approach in the handicap world. Both of these fields, the handicap and the palliative care, often attest a mutual improvement of such collaboration. (C) 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
