Lincolnshire Palliative & End of Life Care Education Strategy
Death is an inevitable part of life, and healthcare professionals play a vital role in ensuring a positive end of life experience for patients and their loved ones.
The Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care frameworks (2015–2020 and 2021–2026) emphasize the importance of education, training, and person-centred care, with a key focus on preparing staff to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care.
Well-trained staff improve outcomes and experiences, making ongoing professional development essential. In Lincolnshire, a dedicated strategy supports staff and volunteers in gaining the knowledge and confidence needed to deliver high-quality palliative care, ensuring patients receive fair, coordinated, and respectful support.
This strategy applies to all involved in health and social care in Lincolnshire and outlines a three-tiered education and training framework, from general awareness to advanced competencies, aligned with the 2017 Core Skills Training Framework.
