The interdisciplinary team approach is essential in the assessment and management of the palliative care of patients and their families. An innovative approach has been developed to allow the interdisciplinary team to see patients and their families in an outpatient clinic setting. This has allowed an improved assessment and has demonstrated to patients that a wider approach is undertaken. These interdisciplinary outpatient clinics have been audited and appear to be effective, and acceptable to patients and families.
