Improving End Of Life Care 2015

“Actions for End of Life Care: 2014-16 – sets out NHS England’s commitments for adults and children. It is one component of a wider ambition to develop a vision for end of life care beyond 2015. This can only be achieved in partnership with all those in health and social care. We now need to ensure that living and dying well is the focus of end of life care, wherever it occurs. This is the challenge: together we can and must achieve it… The End of Life Care Strategy needs to be revisited and refreshed so that national actions align with both the current needs of the population and arrangements in the health and social care system following the Health and Social Care Act 2012. But improving end of life care involves a wide range of people and organisations, across the health and social care, professional and public, and statutory and voluntary, spectrum. Over the next year, we will work with colleagues and individuals across that spectrum to develop an ambitious five year plan for end of life care beyond 2015.”
