Better Investment: Better Dying

Progress with Measurement and Collaborative Commissioning for End of Life Care

24^th February 2010

Prospero House,
241 Borough High Street,
London SE1 1GA

This conference was an opportunity to explore the progress with measurement and collaborative commissioning of end of life care services. It drew upon NCPC’s work along with that of the National Audit Office and NHS National End of Life Care Programme to discuss both policy and implementation in this challenging field. It provided a forum to consider priorities from both benchmarking work and emerging practice. The conference supported commissioners to develop their understanding of palliative and end of life care needs and commission accordingly, and providers to reflect on how they can best develop their services in response to those needs. It showcased practical examples where effective commissioning has led to more cost effective services.
