Implementing the End of Life Care Strategy
Lessons for good practice
28 October 2010
Implementing the End of Life Care Strategy: lessons for good practice is aimed at those responsible for commissioning and organising end-of-life care services at a local level. The paper uses evidence from The King’s Fund’s evaluation of the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme to highlight examples of good practice and learning for the organisation and delivery of end-of-life care across England. It provides guidance on the delivery options and ongoing challenges in the organisation of end-of-life care that can be implemented or adapted to suit local contexts of care. Many of the lessons that are presented in this paper will also provide a valuable resource for those involved in the quality, innovation, productivity and prevention (QIPP) agenda.
