Living and dying well: a national action plan for palliative and end of life care in Scotland

This publication is the outcome of an extensive process of collaboration across Scotland, including the involvement of all special and territorial NHS Boards, Scottish Government Health and Community Care national improvement programmes, the Scottish Primary Care Cancer Group, the Care Commission, the Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care (SPPC), academic bodies, palliative care networks and key representatives of the voluntary sector, including voluntary hospices, national charities and umbrella bodies. The document is not intended to be a palliative care manual, but rather a plan to ensure that good palliative and end of life care is available for all patients and families who need it in a consistent, comprehensive, appropriate and equitable manner across all care settings in Scotland. It is intended for all health and social care policy makers, planners and practitioners, and is designed to produce achievable and measurable changes which will ensure quality improvement and enhance patient and carer experience.
