The National End of Life Care Intelligence Network (NEoLCIN), part of Public Health England, has published a new report Ambulance Data Project for End of Life Care.
The report followed two projects carried out by North West Ambulance Service and South East Coast Ambulance Service to explore the collection and use of ambulance data in supporting delivery of end of life care.
The study found that frequently people approaching the end of life are not clearly identified in ambulance or medical records and the report recommends better identification and communication with the ambulance service. This will support ambulance professionals to make safe and appropriate care decisions.
NEoLCIN hope that you find the information in this report useful and would appreciate your help in sharing the report with others, or those who would be interested in the findings and recommendations.
