Abstract

Palliative care for Parkinson's disease is characterized by inconsistency and varies from country to country. Although some countries have taken significant steps to include palliative care in their health programs, others, such as Greece, are still at an early stage. One step towards the widespread adoption of palliative care is the education of all stakeholders, especially clinicians. This paper presents a preliminary version of a curriculum toolkit for Palliative Care education in Parkinson's disease. Also, we explore Greek neurologists' knowledge of Palliative care based on a questionnaire and present their feedback on the topics included in this toolkit.Clinical Relevance-The toolkit aims to benefit patients in need of palliative care through promoting health literacy and further educating healthcare providers. The proposed toolkit provides all the necessary information to become sufficient knowledge and ultimately translate into clinical practice skills.
