Palliative medicine is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families who face problems related to deadly disease, preventing and alleviating suffering by early recognition, and combating pain and other problems. The aim of this paper is to examine the attitudes and opinions of citizens of the non-health profession in northwestern Croatia about palliative care available in their counties, and the desire to participate in the palliative team as a volunteer. 422 participants in the non-health profession from the area of northwestern Croatia participated in the research. The collected data were statistically processed by IBM SPSS Statistics 25. The results of the research showed that as many as a third (31%) of participants do not know what palliative care is and are not familiar with the palliative care services offered to them in the counties. Also, it was observed that women are more (35.4%) more willing to volunteer with palliative patients than men. The research confirmed that better information of citizens is necessary in order to be more involved as volunteers and that in case of need for palliative care they are familiar with the resources that exist in their environment.
