Our Palliative and End of Life Care Strategy is being developed for 2025-2030. The scope of the strategy includes adults, children and young people with any advanced, progressive life limiting illness. It is important that the new strategy is developed with local people and communities, as together we can improve compassionate, consistent and safe effective care for all.

The feedback you give will be used to inform the new Palliative and End of Life Care Strategy.

Who is the survey for? - We are keen to hear from a wide range of people across Herefordshire and Worcestershire, including those who live, work, care, or receive NHS services in these areas. We are particularly keen to hear from people receiving palliative or end of life care and those who are in the last year of life, as well as those caring for someone who is.

This survey should take approximately 8 minutes to complete.

All responses will be anonymous unless you choose to give your details in Question 6. NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) will collate and store the answers that you give. We will publish the anonymous findings to our website and will also share with our partners. Personal identifying information will not appear in any publications resulting from this survey. Your anonymous quotes may be used in this, and other relevant ICB reports.

The deadline to complete this survey is 9am, Monday 3 February 2025.

Thank you for your time completing this survey!


Definitions
  • Palliative care is defined by the World Health Organisation as an approach that improves the quality of life of patients (adults and children) and their families who are facing problems associated with life-limiting illness, usually progressive.
  • End of life care is support for people who are in the last 12 months of life of their life. End of life care should help you to live as well as possible until you die and to die with dignity.
