Accounting for Value report
A report was written in early 2020 that looked at the way end of life resources are funded in north east Essex. This highlighted that there is a great deal of opportunity for reinvestment in this area. Those people involved in the Die Well domain want to realise this opportunity, to ensure that individuals really do have choice at the end of their life. A video below is a short summary of the report.
Improving end of life care
Together, we're committed to working collaboratively to improve the health and wellbeing of the people we serve in our local community.
In 2019 local people agreed on ten priorities for end of life care which were identified as the 'Outcomes that Matter.' These outcomes are what all healthcare professionals should aim to deliver in order to provide the best end of life care and support to people who have been provided with an end of life diagnosis.
The below video is a short overview of the 10 outcomes that matter.
