The 7 Key messages – or core tasks (or quality standards),

7 C’s, according to GSF:

C1 – Communication: ask for symptom control/wishes/needs in every contact!!! C2 – Coordination: who can be contacted for questions/problems? C3 - Control of symptoms: evaluate treatment effect C4 - Continuity (incl. ‘out of hours’ (= voice mail )) C5 - Continued learning: stay at the “state of the art” C6 - Carer support: for your team and for yourself C7 - Care in the dying phase: for patient (+family + carers+ bereavement)
