District and community nurses who completed a practice-based educational pathway reported greater confidence in delivering palliative and end of life care to patients.Nurses working in these roles said communication was their main area of concern in relation to end of life care but this increased significantly during the project, due to interaction with colleagues experienced in this area.The pathway involved assigning community nurses from one NHS foundation trust in the north of England a mentor from a specialist palliative care team.
