Background: The aim is to implement knowledge of basic palliative care in selected departments by the Hub and Spokes model. Methods: Implementation of basic palliative care was designed as a stepwise training model by skills lectures over a time period of 2 years. In each of the six selected oncological and nononcological departments, one physician and two nurses were trained in semi-annual half-day meetings as expert representatives within their departments. Results: Semi-structured interviews were conducted to assess implementation outcomes with 12 nurses and 6 physicians. Overall acceptability was high for all departments and professions. Feasibility was given in all departments. Adoption and penetration of a trained expert representative differed between medical and nursing professions. Implementation was more appropriate in the stationary sector. Implementation costs were low. Conclusion: Expansion of the system into a second follow-up period, including more departments, is planned to ensure sustainability.
