NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), in partnership with local HSCPs and Hospices, has been working on the development of a draft strategy on palliative care and care around dying for the NHS GGC area.
Throughout 2025, we worked with local communities to hear about their lived experience of palliative care. This engagement helped inform this strategy, and we would like to hear from you if you think we have got this right.
This strategy has identified key priorities for delivering palliative care and care around dying for all services.
Priority 1: Early identification and person-centred care planning of palliative care needs.
Priority 2: Equitable, coordinated, responsive care across all settings.
Priority 3: Enhance access to information, digital inclusion, and community empowerment around palliative care.
Priority 4: Ensure accessible and compassionate bereavement support for all.
Priority 5: Supported, skilled, and resilient workforce.
We would like to hear from you to check if these priorities are clear, easy to understand, and include everything they need to.
