ABSTRACT
The first in this three-part series examines the diversity and challenges inherent in nurses' contribution to palliative care. The art and the science of caring for those who are dying and their families has long been recognised as an immensely demanding and rewarding part of health and social care. For nurses, it is central to the values and principles that underpin clinical practice.
