End of life care – 2024 State of the Nations report

The National Audit of Care at the End of Life (NACEL)

This report found that 83% of deaths were expected by clinical staff during the final admission and, of these, 84% had an individualised plan of care addressing their needs at the end of life. It also found that 97% of hospital providers have access to specialist palliative care services. The report also contains five recommendations for improvement relating to: hospital improvement plans; access to specialist palliative care services; personalised care and support planning; equitable care; and training and support.

All reports: All HQIP-commissioned reports can be accessed via our dedicated reports webpage.
