Palliative care aims to relieve pain, symptoms and stress in the patient and family. Both for the patient and his relatives, this type of care aims to improve the standard of living. Palliative care is provided by a multidisciplinary team, that is, a group of professionals who are gathered around the same patient, taking care of his needs, whether physical, psychological or spiritual. In addition to health care and patronage, the palliative mobile team is included in the care, which does not limit its visits only to the needs of the patient, but also to the needs of the family that cares for him. As part of the work, a research was conducted to examine the level of knowledge and attitudes of doctors and nurses in primary health care about palliative care in the Virovitica-Podravine County. A questionnaire divided into three different parts was used as a research instrument. The first part was about socio-demographic characteristics. The second part of the questionnaire included a knowledge test about palliative care, while the third part of the research was Frommelt's scale of attitudes towards care for the dying. The results of the research show that doctors and nurses from primary health care are well informed about palliative care, since they answered yes to 64% of the questions. Doctors have more knowledge than nurses. Additional education on palliative care as well as years of experience in the industry positively influence the level of knowledge. The attitudes of nurses and doctors are also very positive. Respondents with less and moderate experience in the activity have more positive attitudes towards palliative care than those with longer experience in the activity.
