Objectives

Our overall aim is to support professionals to deliver good quality, community-based end of life care in dementia. We will achieve this through six interlinked workstreams (WS1-6). Specific objectives include:

1. To identify which aspects of existing end of life care in dementia are effective and efficient (WS1,2,5).

2. To develop, implement and evaluate an evidence-based individual care planning (ICP), and associated educational resources, to support the provision of good quality end of life care in dementia (WS3,4).

3. To determine how community-based end of life care in dementia should be organised and commissioned (WS2,5,6).
