The Coalition of Frontline Care for People Nearing the End of Life has published a report entitled: ‘End of Life is Everyone’s Business.’
The report talks about how many people die with age-related conditions – with dementia as the UK’s leading cause of death – and that numerous families try to cope at home until a crisis occurs. In the report’s Calls to Action, access to support services and advice from specialists, including Admiral nurses, is documented.
Professor Keri Thomas OBE, Chair of the Coalition of Frontline Care and Founder and Chair of The GSF Centre in End of Life Care, says:
“This Coalition Report, with contributions from all members, makes the case for change, points to the future and helps us aspire to the best of care towards the end of life – the kind of care we would like for ourselves and our families. We seek a chance to radically change the quality of care for more people nearing the end of life. And we urge the Government to invest in its frontline workforce – because end of life care is everyone’s business.”
