July 2006 – September 2007
NHS End of Life Care Programme
The following research questions were developed to address this overarching aim:
Interviews with key stakeholders (n = up to20): individuals who are active in shaping the direction of the Programme or are involved as partners in its work.
Focus groups with local staff (3): Involving staff within selected localities who are responsible for the implementation of the Programme at local level to understand how the local implementation of the programme has changed practice and the challenges they face. These case studies will also involve staff in the local cancer and palliative networks to participate in focus groups to gather their views of the Programme.
Scoping exercise: A documentary analysis of the Programme publications and website, examining documents and resources produced by the Programme since the launch of the EoLC Strategy, including website resources which shed light on partnership working and relating to activities, education or publications that focus on outcomes for individuals and carers.
Final report under development.
