Find out which organisation to contact if you are a member of staff at a health or social care service and want to report a concern about the Liverpool Care Pathway.
The Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) is intended to alleviate suffering for people with terminal illnesses or those close to death.
The staff treating the patient must work together as a team to determine when it is appropriate to implement the LCP. They must make this decision with the patient and those close to them.
The relevant regulators need to be informed if any person believes that the LCP has been inappropriately implemented.
