The Royal College of GPs and Marie Curie partnership are due to launch the Daffodil Standards: the new UK General Practice Standards for End of Life Care and Advanced Serious Illness. This quality improvement programme is a great opportunity to help support General Practice to improve care for patients and their loved ones at the end of life.
During the development process they involved patients and carers, in consultation with RCGP Patient Partnership Groups, Marie Curie Expert Voices and National Association of Patient Participation. They have recently completed 16 feasibility pilots in practices to test the pilots. Here is a flyer and editorial with some information.
The full documentation for the programme is free and voluntary, however foundation components are due to form part of End of Life Care QOF from April 2019.
