How can patients with COVID-19 and their family or unpaid carers be enabled and supported to manage palliative care treatment safely and effectively at home? (Oxford COVID-19 Evidence Service, UK)

The Oxford University’s COVID-19 Evidence Service undertook this review to determine how people with COVID-19 and unpaid carers could be enabled and supported by healthcare professionals to manage palliative care treatment safely and effectively at home. Their findings are presented in two overarching sections as follows:

  1. Evidence from studies involving palliative care for people with conditions other than COVID-19 on:
    • Supporting carers to manage medication at the end of life
    • Using digital technology to support carers
    • Providing education interventions for carers
    • Supporting carer wellbeing.
  1. Guidance produced in the context of COVID-19:
    • For carers
    • For healthcare professionals supporting carers.
