Conclusions: The study highlights that although many EM clinicians are comfortable with EoLC discussions, significant challenges persist, particularly concerning training and infrastructure. Addressing these issues could enhance the standard of EoLC in Irish EDs.

3. Infrastructure Concerns: only 11.6% felt that the physical environment is conducive to providing quality EoLC.

2. Infrastructure Concerns: 23.5% of respondents agreed that appropriate rooms are allocated for EoL patients

Here are the key points! 1. Comfort with EoLC Discussions: While 80% of clinicians with over 10 years of experience felt comfortable discussing EoL issues with patients and families, only 32% of those with less than 5 years’ experience reported the same comfort level.
