Our study uncovered relevant safety concerns of palliative care patients receiving specialist community palliative care. The insights gained into patient-reported problems may help healthcare professionals to identify situations where patients feel unsafe. Further research should address primary and secondary prevention measures to improve the quality of end-of-life care in the home environment.
