Abstract
Personalised care plans prompt nursing staff to consider the priorities of care for patients nearing the end of life, in line with guidance from the Leadership Alliance for the Care of Dying People, when planning care. This article discusses the results of an acute hospital audit comparing the quality of care planning for patients in the last days of life using the trust care record documentation with the use of a personalised care plan for patients.
