The principles behind end of life care and the implications for patients’ skin
نویسنده
چکیده
When around-the-clock community care is provided it has been shown to improve the quality of patients’ experience and is effective in reducing unnecessary hospital admissions (Macmillan Cancer Support, 2010). The DH white paper (2012), Caring for our Future: reforming care and support, focuses on achieving more consistency in patients’ access to services around the country. Greater consistency of service provision would give patients more choice about their care and improve integration of services (DH, 2012).
