Next steps for palliative and end of life care in England

This Westminster Health Forum conference will examine the next steps for palliative and end of life care in England.

 It will be a timely opportunity to assess the updated Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care: A national framework for local action and how its aims can be achieved.

 The agenda will bring out latest thinking on key priorities in the framework and wider issues, looking at:

• patient-centred care
• service delivery, local leadership, integrated care systems, and community networks
• tackling variation, sharing best practice and addressing inequalities
• regulation and quality care delivery
• workforce development, specialist nurse shortages, and staff retention and wellbeing
• the pandemic, the NHS backlog, and increased demand
• the evidence base, and innovative practices and technologies
