  • To undertake an implementation pilot in up to 8 hospital settings delivering care via the LCP to patients dying from renal failure within a specialist renal unit / ward in the last hours and days of life.
  • To determine the need for supportive documentation / information for healthcare professionals.
  • To determine the need for supportive documentation / information for patients / carers
  • To determine specific guidance for drug prescribing
  • To collate a final report in support of a dissemination model for the use of the LCP in patients with renal failure in the last hours / days of life.
