Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care: A national framework for local action 2015- 2020

The National Palliative and End of Life Care Partnership, made up of statutory bodies including NHS England, the Association of Adult Social Services, charities and groups representing patients and professionals, has developed a framework for action in making palliative and end of life care a priority at local level.

Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care: A national framework for local action 2015-2020, is aimed at local health and social care and community leaders and sets out six ‘ambitions’ – principles for how care for those nearing death should be delivered at local level. It builds on the Department of Health’s 2008 Strategy for End of Life Care.
