This years the End of Life Care Improvement Group will continue to share data and stories about caring for individuals and families at the end of life; as “we only get one chance to get it right.” Embedding the importance of quality End of Life care in the whole of health system.

Quality of Dying audit

In 2019 we have an exciting addition to the benchmarking report which will include quality of dying indicators; including evidence of end of life conversation, advance care directives, medical guidance plans and symptom management. This will take the form of a chart audit, using Quality of Dying Audit tool developed by Canterbury.

This new report will complement the End of Life Care benchmarking report and will provide the basis for much discussion when we meet in June.
