- Abstract
The author comments on the report published by the National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death in Great Britain about end-of-life care. She states that the report highlights the care received by over 3,000 patients who died within four days of admission to hospital. She argues that healthcare professionals often failed to judge whether patients had been approaching the end of their lives, which meant that appropriate end of life care had not been given.
