Annotation	The Strategy for End of Life Care was published by the Department of Health (DH) on 16 July 2008. This briefing sets out NCPC's initial response to the Strategy and current plans to assist in its implementation. It outlines how NCPC, in coalition with partners across the voluntary, statutory and independent sectors, intends to take a lead in improving public awareness of death and dying. Central to the Strategy is the End of Life Care Pathway, and examples of work in progress by NCPC Groups are described briefly. Also touched on are how implementation might be supported in different care settings; measurement, assessment and quality issues; and workforce development. (RH).
