This collection provides an easy way to find reviews on topics relevant to palliative care. It is dynamic and will change over time as new reviews are released. Our method for selecting reviews for inclusion is described in the Procedures page. This collection should not replace your own personalised search for systematic reviews on a particular topic. Users need to assess the quality of the individual reviews for their own purposes.

To submit details of a review which meets the CareSearch criteria for inclusion email caresearch@flinders.edu.au
