Scotland launch new palliative care strategy

The Scottish Government has launched a new palliative care strategy. The strategy includes:

  • better integrating specialist palliative care into hospital and community services
  • improving public information about living with life-shortening conditions
  • death, dying and bereavement support
  • community-led networks to help people talk openly about these issues
  • a new Scottish Palliative Care Learning Hub to strengthen training and education
