title: An educational programme for end of life care in an acute setting.
abstract: End of life care should be incorporated in all stages of nurse training. This article describes the development of a multiprofessional education programme for staff to support them in meeting the recommended standards of end of life care in an acute hospital setting. The programme was designed to help practitioners work imaginatively with the care decisions they are required to make with patients and their loved ones.
