The Palliative Care Conference 2022

NHS England’s new 2021 Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care set out the need for local organisations to develop integrated services that provide personalised end of life care. With Marie Curie’s 2021 End of Life Report finding that Covid-19 lead to an increase in deaths at home, community services have had to adapt and improve patient pathways and support to deliver effective palliative care to more people. Local services must now work in partnership to meet the needs of an increasing number of vulnerable people, ensuring that end of life care is accessible for those in hospital, care homes and in the community. Through joined-up working and developing staff teams to provide compassionate and personalised end of life care, the palliative care sector can continue to deliver exemplary support to all.

• Marie Curie’s Better End of Life report 2021 found that approximately 91,000 more people died in 2021 compared to the average for each of the previous 5 years
• The same report found that before the pandemic only 7% of people expressed a preference for dying in hospital, yet nearly half of deaths took place in hospitals
• GPs reported a 65% increase in virtual consultations relating to end of life during the pandemic, according to the Royal College of General Practitioners
• The Institute for Public Policy Research projected in their ‘The State of End-of-Life Care’ report that total deaths in the UK are due to rise faster than the population grows

Join us at The Palliative Care Conference 2022 to hear high level keynotes from leading experts, including insights into the new national framework for end-of-life care.
