Developing complex interventions for the integration of palliative care across clinical settings: An overview of ethical perspectives and implications

Developing complex interventions for the integration of palliative care across clinical settings is a way to improve healthcare and prioritize patient-centered and family-centered approaches. This is particularly the case for patients with complex palliative care needs; for instance, in Intensive Care, Burn Intensive Care, Nursing Homes, Psychiatry, Pneumology, and Oncology.

EU-funded projects, such as In-Touch (persons with advanced dementia), EU PAL-COPD (persons with advanced COPD), and Pal-Cycles (persons with advanced cancer) will be showcased. The ethical implications (e.g., ethics of care, equity and justice, decision-making processes) and research ethics challenges occurring during the implementation of these projects will be explored.
