Supporting homeless people with advanced liver disease approaching the end of life
15 May 2011
Over the past three years, Marie Curie Cancer Care and St Mungo’s have been working together, supported by funding from the Department of Health, to improve end of life care for people who are homeless.
Of the thousands of people that St Mungo’s supports each year, around 50 will die in their care, with advanced liver failure being the most common cause.
This report presents the findings of a detailed review of the case notes held by St Mungo’s for people affected by advanced liver failure who died between January 2009 and April 2010.
