Table 4 Final recommendations

From: Providing ‘professionalism with compassion’; how the time for caring communication can improve experiences at the end-of-life at home, findings from a realist evaluation

Recommendations:

• Practitioners should have a level of competence in effective communication which allows for shared understanding and care delivery

• Timely transition into palliative and end-of-life care is required in order to improve opportunities for patients and caregivers to receive tailored skilled communication, improving preparedness and addressing the fears surrounding death and dying

• RRS should be available and accessible to all who would benefit from inclusive, knowledgeable, and compassionate communication to support end-of-life at home
