Many patients prefer to die at home, but limited community palliative care hinders this. An initiative addressed educational needs for practitioners, aiming to improve end-of-life care delivery across Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Oncology Nursing
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • The National Health Service (NHS) Cancer Plan (2000) identified gaps in palliative care services.
  • A significant number of patients wish to die at home, yet only 25% achieve this due to insufficient community or specialist palliative care teams.
  • Geographical disparities exist in palliative care provision across the country.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the educational and training deficits among healthcare practitioners involved in community palliative care.
  • To enhance the capacity of local services to support patients preferring end-of-life care at home.
  • To improve the quality and accessibility of palliative care within the Lancashire and South Cumbria region.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a targeted educational and training initiative.
