| Annotation | Many people would prefer to die at home. In line with recommendations on this in the Department of Health (DH) End of life care strategy (2008), the charity Sue Ryder Care piloted a rapid response care and palliative expertise at home initiative in Bedford. The project supported 17 patients to die in their own homes. Evaluation of the project will be shared with the local primary care trust (PCT) in the hope that it will continue to fund the service. Other community-based models of end of life care that the charity has developed are outlined. The author discusses the benefits of the scheme and feedback from the 17 families it helped. (RH). |
