The PACE (Palliative Care for Older People) project aims to conduct comparative representative research on dying in care homes in Europa, ultimately trying to contribute to evidence-based medicine and to inform practice and policy-making. PACE compares health care systems with and without formal palliative care services in long term care facilities in six EU countries (BE, NL, UK, IT, FL, POL) + Switzerland (independent). More information on the project website: www.eupace.eu

The PACE project has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration under grant agreement no 603111.
