Published: 15 December 2014
The North West Ambulance Service and the South East Coast Ambulance Service participated in a joint project with the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network (NEoLCIN) to explore the collection and use of ambulance data in supporting delivery of end of life care.
The project examined the information available to ambulance services about people approaching the end of life and the role of ambulance services at this time, including emergency calls and rapid transfers home to die. The report includes recommendations for supporting ambulance professionals in their role which include better identification of the dying patient and unified national ambulance data.
