The research team will recruit GPs through several channels. Quality peer-review groups will be contacted to provide information about the study and motivate participation to their members. Publicly-available member lists of local associations of GPs and contact lists of GPs will be used for telephone and email contact and for providing recruitment letters by postal mail.

GPs who are eligible and wish to participate will be asked to provide informed consent. Each GP will be asked to list, with the help of a research assistant (RA), three patients who are potentially eligible for participation in the study. Where possible, each of the three identified patients should have a different life-limiting illness (cancer, organ failure, geriatric frailty) according to the criteria listed in Table 1.
