We present our basic and preliminary results of a global project to develop palliative care in Catalonia in five years, as part of a World Health Organization demonstration project on cancer.

The project, which has already started, includes measures to implement specific resources at all levels of care simultaneously, measures to train target professionals through initiatives at both the pre-and the postgraduate level, measures to promote the use of oral morphine in primary care, and some proposed indicators for monitoring the services.

At present in Catalonia there are six support teams in hospitals, four units in sociohealth centres, and almost 30 home care teams.

Key Words: Spain • Catalonia • palliative care
