Abstract
The undergraduate education of health professionals has legitimately broad but ultimately conflicting aims. There is a need to reformulate how professionals work, think and learn, and for this analysis to inform undergraduate programmes. Palliative care is not strongly placed politically to influence these developments, yet the contribution it can make is enormous, through allowing students the opportunity to experience what it does and to reflect on that experience.Keywords
