There has recently been a move towards generic palliative care with the extension of the aims, as specified by the WHO (1) to patients with non‐malignant diagnoses. Trinity Hospice, London, UK, changed their admissions policy to include any patient with a specialist palliative care need from January 1 1995. The contents of this brief report were first presented as a poster at the EAPC Conference, Barcelona, December 1995.
