Enriching and Improving Experience: A Framework to support the learning and development needs of the health and social service workforce in Scotland 

To support the health and social service workforce, NHS Education for Scotland (NES) and the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) were commissioned to develop a new framework that would offer a way of identifying the knowledge and skills required by all workers who might come into contact with people who have palliative and end of life care needs. This document describes the key domains that are integral to palliative and end of life care in all health and social care settings, and outlines the associated knowledge and skills required.
