The LCP represents a continuous quality improvement programme for care of the dying.  It transfers best practice for care of the dying in the hospice environment into other care settings, and a key feature of the LCP is that it empowers generic healthcare workers to deliver optimum care to dying patients, irrespective of diagnosis.

The LCP Steering Group meets quarterly to review and discuss the LCP Framework.  The LCP Core documents are reviewed annually and on viewing the document you will see that our current version is Version 11.
