| Annotation | The Neurological Conditions Policy Group of NCPC was established to: identify the palliative care needs of people with neurological conditions; map and assess the adequacy of current provision; identify good practice; and identify service models to meet these needs. This study describes existing access to specialist palliative care (SPC) services for people with long-term neurological conditions (LTNC); identifies gaps in service provision; identifies the views of consultants in the specialities of palliative medicine, rehabilitation and neurology regarding their own and other specialities' roles, access to services and any gaps; and determines how their services should interact to meet the needs of people with LTNC. The publication has been produced with support from the Parkinson's Disease Society and Big Lottery Fund. (RH). |
