Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a programme for transitional palliative cancer care (Pal-Cycles) in seven countries (the Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Portugal) and its consequent effects on the number of readmissions into hospital. The main hypothesis for the study is: that fewer people in the intervention arm of the study will require hospital re admission than those having usual care. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires regarding their quality of care and quality of life.
