  "abstract": "The emergency department (ED) is a dynamic, unpredictable environment primarily designed for rapid assessment and treatment. Yet, a growing number of patients present either following catastrophic events leading to imminent death or with progressive terminal illness in their final stages of life. Providing high-quality end-of-life (EOL) care within the fast-paced, resource-limited ED is inherently difficult. Challenges recognised in the literature include lack of staff training, environmental constraints and system pressures.1–5 As the UK population ages, demand for EOL care in EDs will inevitably rise. This study aimed to explore staff experiences of delivering EOL care in a large major trauma centre (MTC) ED to identify both challenges and enablers.",
