NICE Quality Standard for End of Life Care
The NICE Quality Standard for End of Life Care was published on November 30th 2011. A review of ELCQuA is currently underway to update the standard and to align the objectives with the new quality standard. We expect the revised version to be published in April 2012. We will keep you updated on progress via this website.
