In July 2008 the Department of Health (England) published the End of Life Care Strategy - promoting high quality care for all adults at the end of life. The second annual report sets out the continuing progress in implementing the strategy, highlights the need for further work and identifies the action intended for this coming year. It includes information about a new pilot project that has been set up to support GPs to improve palliative and end of life care for their patients and build their confidence. The project will be evaluated on completion and if successful it will be rolled out further.
