Developing end of life care practice
A guide to workforce development to support social care and health workers to apply the common core principles and competences for end of life care
23 February 2012
The National End of Life Care Programme has worked alongside Skills for Health and Skills for Care to ensure that workers involved in supporting someone who is at the end of their life are properly trained to be able to undertake their work effectively and appropriately.
Each section gives an explanation of the area of work and includes important links to further information and resources. There is also a ‘practice scenario’ to show how the competences are connected and how they can be used to help in developing services and ensuring that workers are appropriately trained and skilled.
This guide completely replaces the 2010 A framework of National Occupational Standards to support common core principles for health and social care workers working with adults at the end of life and should be read alongside the Common Core Competences and Principles: A guide for health and social care workers working with adults at the end of life.
