Summary
Currently in the scoping phase, the project will examine the rhetoric of care provision against the reality of provision from the stand point of carers and patients. The research will encompass:
- an analysis of local area and central government policy;
- a systematic review of the literature on the provision of end of life care in care homes;
- an analysis of what can count as measurable outcome and impact statements;
- an assessment of the available administrative and research data to support understanding of outcome measurement, and;
- fieldwork in care homes in the London Borough of Harrow
