The LCP document guides and enables health care professionals to focus on care in the last hours or days of life. This guides the delivery of high quality care tailored to the patient’s individual needs in the last days and hours of life, when their death is expected.
Using the LCP in any care setting requires regular assessment that includes reflection, review and critical decision-making in the best interest of the patient by a team of health care professionals. All health care professionals must be cognisant of their scope of practice when using the LCP, including undertaking assessments, completing documentation and prescribing/administering medications.
Our education programme supports the LCP in practice by providing a continuous education and teaching programme to underpin the use of the LCP.
