To explore the experiences of, and impact on, staff working in palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic. ⋯ This study provides a unique insight into why and how healthcare staff have experienced moral distress during the pandemic, and how organisations have responded.

Organisational, structural and policy changes are urgently required to mitigate and manage these impacts.
