Health
Better End of Life Project
Aims
To understand the outcomes and experiences of people affected by death, dying, and bereavement in the UK by generating, retrieving, and synthesising evidence, and to frame this evidence in a format that compels policy-makers to take action.
Methods
This project has three workstreams which include, a cross-sectional survey of bereaved relatives and carers in the UK, mapping available care and services to identify inequalities and gaps and analysis of routinely collected data.
Impact
- Our policy mapping analysis was used as supporting evidence for the Health and Care Bill.
- The Better End of Life Report July 2022 was cited in the POST note on palliative and end of life care.
