What questionnaires exist to measure the perceived competence of generalists in palliative care provision? A critical literature review.

The increase in the numbers of patients requiring palliative care input prior to death, and a global economic situation where few countries are able to invest further in specialist palliative care services, has meant an increased focus upon 'generalist palliative care provision'. The goal of the present review is to ascertain what questionnaire tools exist to measure the perceived competence of generalists in palliative care provision.
