Volunteering Service Guide: End-of-Life Care

An End of Life Care (EoLC) Volunteer service, based in an Academic Specialist Palliative Care Unit and working across the hospital providing support to patients with a palliative diagnosis or those approaching the end of life.

This guide uses learning from the End-of-Life Care Service being delivered in the Liverpool University Hospitals. The purpose of the guide is to provide a potential service adopter with the information needed to be able to:

a) Decide if the service would be of benefit to their organisation

b) Understand what considerations are needed to adapt the service to their environment
