The End of Life Care at North Bristol NHS Trust aims to deliver care in line with nationally recognised priorities for care of the dying person:
In order to support staff in delivering high quality care that is tailored to the individual, we use a framework of care called the Purple Butterfly approach. This approach is used to acknowledge when the focus of a persons care is comfort and symptom control and to identify their priorities and needs.
At NBT we are committed to providing high quality, personalised care at end of life. Alongside use of the Purple Butterfly approach we deliver regular palliative and end of life care teaching to all grades of staff and undertake audits to measure quality and effectiveness.
