title: Developing an end-of-life benchmark in acute care.
abstract: Nottingham University Hospitals used the Essence of Care Benchmarking programme to review and improve end-of-life care. The trust developed and implemented its own end-of-life benchmark. This provided a baseline of existing practice and led to greater awareness of standards of best practice in all clinical areas.
