Part of NHS Improving Quality (NHS IQ)
The National End of Life Care Programme made
significant progress working with health and social care staff,
providers, commissioners and third sector organisations across
England to improve end of life care for adults.
We helped put into practice the Department of Health's
End of Life Care Strategy (2008) and the NICE quality standard for
end of life care for adults (2011). Working with our network of
healthcare facilitators and social care champions, we worked
to:
- Promote high quality, person-centred care for all adults at the
end of life, across all care settings and health conditions
- Support people to live and die well in their preferred
place.

Programme has now closed.
Elements of the programme's work have finished, while some
continue within NHS Improving Quality. The continuing workstreams

The National
End of Life Care Intelligence Network continues to operate
as part of Public
Health England from 1 April 2013.
