Development of an eHealth information resource for family carers supporting a person receiving palliative care on the island of Ireland.

However, carers report feeling underprepared to undertake this role. This paper describes the process of developing a consensus and evidence based website to provide core information to help people support someone receiving palliative care on the island of Ireland.
