We thank all care homes, their managers and staff for participating in the preparation of this course, as well as general practitioners, physicians, country trainers and others who assisted us in recording the illustrative videos. We are grateful to the insightful suggestions and expertise provided by the international leaders who agreed to contribute recorded interviews (Professor Lieve van Den Block, Professor Luc Deliens, Professor Bregje Onwuteaka-Philipsen, Dr Jo Hockley).

The course could not have been produced without the technical expertise of Anthony Greenwood who filmed the video sequences in all countries and assisted with editing and producing them.

We would also like to thank the Information Systems Services team at Lancaster University (Phil Tubman, Tim Ellis, Alison Sharman, Steven Powell) for their encouragement and helpful ideas to improve the quality of the course.
