Caring for the Dying at Home
Companions on the Journey
This comprehensive resource book, the key text for the Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Programme, supports and enables all primary health professionals, and all those involved in palliative care, to make improvements in care provided for their patients, as recommended in the NICE guidance on Supportive and Palliative Care. It aims to strengthen the role, confidence, systems and skills of primary healthcare teams for the delivery of palliative care and patient support. The GSF, recommended and promoted by the NHS End of Life Initiative, Modernisation Agency and Macmillan, is already used by over 1000 teams in the UK, and is now being offered to every primary care team to improve end-of-life care for all.
