Government palliative and end of life care websites UK governments
England: Department of Health provides fairly comprehensive websites: end of life strategy website. http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Healthcare/IntegratedCare/Endoflifecare/index.htm NHS end of life care website: http://www.endoflifecareforadults.nhs.uk/eolc/
Northern Ireland No end of life or palliative care website at the Northern Ireland Office website, but a search for palliative care on the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety will lead to some documents: http://www.dhsspsni.gov.uk/index.htm
Scotland As with NI, there appears to be no website on palliative and/or end-of-life care on the Scottish government website; searching for these topics (aside from the usual results on things like end of life vehicles) produces a fairly large number of documents on social care issues generally; this seems to suggest that the Scots see palliative care as much more of a social care issue than the London-based Department of Health, which is highly medical in its orientation. There is a national standard for hospice care (2005): http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/46910/0025661.pdf to which there are 2007 revisions: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Health/care/17652/RevHospice#top The Scottish government website on health and community care is: http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Health Don’t stay there too long or you get a really irritating video download about 60 years of the NHS.
Wales Again no specific website; NHS Wales website, connects to the Wales government and National Assembly; a search for ‘palliative care’ offers a range of documents, ‘end of life care’ only one: http://new.wales.gov.uk/topics/health/nhswales/?lang=en (also available in Welsh). Commentary: All this suggests that, compared with the well-resourced England DH site, there is no coordinated information about end–of-life and palliative care on
government website, although interesting documents may be found; see my selected documents post.
