Abstract

An online survey of chief neurological consultants was conducted to find out how they judged the demand for and access to palliative and hospice care (PHC) structures for their neurological patients (NP) as well as their collaboration with PHC structures. 110 of 881 chief consultants who were contacted participated in the survey. About 10 % of their NP were considered suitable for PHC. They estimated that 9 % of the deceased had died from their underlying neurological disease. The integration of PHC structures into the management of various neurological diseases was considered worthwhile but 51.9 - 78.5 % indicated that there was no or little collaboration with PHC structures. 12 % of the participants were trained in palliative care (PC). To guarantee an adequate PHC also for NP, PHC knowledge should be integrated into the curriculum and training of neurologists and the PC community should further extend its services to NP, adapting their knowledge and structures to these patients' special needs.
