When the first edition of this book was written in 1990, there were only a few advisory palliative care teams working in hospitals. Since then, the number of teams has grown rapidly. The concept of these teams is now widely accepted but there is an increased need for information about setting up a team, how they work, and how effective they are. This book looks at the need for hospital-based palliative care teams and the challenges of bringing palliative care into the acute hospital setting. It reviews the needs of patients, their families, and their professional carers, and also looks at the theoretical and practical problems that may be encountered. The book contains practical advice on setting up hospital-based palliative care teams, the selection of team members, team dynamics, and the role of the pain clinic and palliation oncology.Less

Chapter 6 examined the global account manager (gam). But as the relationship with a major account will be more intense than one person can handle, there will always be more employees involved in the relationship besides the gam. The way these employees are linked with each other, both formally and informally, means that they form the global account team (gat). This chapter discusses the gat, focusing on the following issues: responsibilities of the global account team; who should be selected as members of the global account team; organizational structure; and the team's place in the organization.Less
