The aim of this WG is to provide personalised coaching for the improvement of health-related quality of life (QoL) of patients with BTC. We will implement patients’ centric palliative care interventions and develop BTC-dedicated educational material that contributes to their psychological well-being and enables them to make decisions as part of the multidisciplinary team that is built around the patient.
