Palliative Care NCP Guidelines - Center to Advance Palliative Care

The National Consensus Project's Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care are available at www.nationalconsensusproject.org.

The guidelines are extremely important because they:
  • Define the essential elements of palliative care
  • Drive development and improvement of clinical programs
  • Help clinicians incorporate palliative care into routine practice
  • Promote quality, consistency and reliability of services
  • Foster access to palliative care across the continuum of health care services

If you have questions, please feel free to contact the National Consensus Project at info@nationalconsensusproject.org.
