NHS England awarded a contract to Hospice UK for a research project to assess the impact of hospice-led interventions on the use of acute care services and outcomes for patients.

The project focused on how different service models facilitate timely transfer out of hospital for people approaching the end of life and prevent avoidable admissions.

The research aimed to enable replication of successful interventions by disseminating evidence and guidance to commissioners, hospices, and other providers, and to differentiate between generally applicable interventions and those specific to individual localities.

The contract value was £150,000.
