condition to live well and have a good quality of life in the community, managing symptoms of disease progression.

development. Our CE will lead this work, providing dynamic, high-level strategic and operational leadership and
management with an emphasis on ensuring the highest standards of specialist palliative and end of life care at the heart of
all activities.
