This paper illustrates the evaluation of some of the effects of a 3‐day workshop for principals and trainees in general practice on a number of aspects of palliative care, using pre‐, immediate and late post‐tests. Further qualitative evaluation is attempted by including a questionnaire with the late post‐test. The evaluation is to demonstrate significant shifts, or differences, in confidence in dealing with physical and psychosocial symptoms, and in participants’perceived ability to cope, and to support these findings with qualitative data where appropriate.
