Integrating EOLC Competencies into Community Staff Appraisals

The Cheshire End of Life Care Service Model, operational since 2010, ensures that the national end of life care tools are fully utilised across all care settings in Central and Eastern Cheshire. The model is a collaborative partnership across primary and acute care, hospices, care homes, further voluntary sector partners and social care. One of the model’s long-term aims is to integrate End of Life Care (EOLC) competency frameworks into workforce development for health and social care staff. This case study demonstrates how this has been successfully achieved in practice.
