End of Life Care Strategy

The End of Life Care Strategy aims to bring about improvement in access to high quality care for all adults approaching the end of their life.

Building on the vision and expertise of hundreds of people and organisations, it provides a framework to support health and social care providers in their development and delivery of end of life care services.

This section of the website provides a brief introduction to the 12 key areas outlined in the strategy, plus relevant links.
