Introduction: The increase in the elderly population and the higher incidence of non-communicable chronic diseases underscore the growing demand for care at the end of life. Objective: This study aims to contribute to the implementation of palliative care in Primary Care based on the perspective of physicians and nurses who are tutors of Residency Programs in the Family Health Strategy in Rio de Janeiro. Methods: This is a qualitative study, in which semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 5 physicians and 3 nurses, and 3 focus groups, consisting of 12 physicians; 14 physicians and 6 nurses. Results: The results showed that all participants experienced cases, but there was no formal learning among other main difficulties, such as: assistance pressure, lack of supplies and medicines, and not prioritizing management at the central level represented by the lack of government guidelines. However, the participants were unanimous that palliative care should be offered in primary care and pointed out that both physicians and nurses base their actions on the transfer of theoretical knowledge to practice. Conclusions: Among the actions discussed for the implementation, it is highlighted that its teaching must involve, in addition to a set of theories and techniques, a humanistic base, with the preceptor having a fundamental role.
