Developing a network of palliative care link workers in care homes and domiciliary care in Morecambe Bay
Key points
- Share information about best practice in end of life care with generic staff
- Develop closer links between care workers and the local palliative care team.
A network of ‘palliative care link workers’ has been established in care homes and domiciliary care agencies across Lancaster.
The aim is to share information about best practice in end of life care with generic staff and to develop closer links between these care workers and the local palliative care team.
This initiative has been led by Lancashire County Council Adult and Community Services Directorate and the St John’s Hospice in Lancaster
