| Annotation | There is wide acceptance that high-quality care can make a large difference for patients nearing the end of life, and to their families, carers and friends. Round the clock care (now referred to as 24/7) was recognised in the 2008 End of Life Care Strategy for England as a cornerstone of palliative and end-of-life care best practice. This report summarises the main points from the 'Dying out-of-hours: 24/7 care at the end of life' conference, including examples of good practice. (RH). |
