Welcome to Omega...
OMEGA, the National Association for End of Life Care, is a newly formed charity, aiming to promote excellence in care for people nearing the end of their lives.
It developed from and is closely aligned with the work of the National GSF Centre, but has a larger remit in end of life care, covering four areas of work:- development of an Academy for the training and education of generalists in end of life care , particularly focusing on care homes staff , research and evaluation of effective solutions, developing improvements and international work in improving end of life care abroad.
It comes at a crucial stage in the development of End of Life Care in this country, as the Department of Health in England launches its first End of Life Care Strategy this summer, and the NHS Next Stage review led by Lord Darzi presents the findings of groups from around the country on the way forward for improving End of Life care.
Never has the need to consistently deliver first class End of Life care been so urgent.
All of us will be affected by the increasing pressure upon scarce hospital resources linked to an ageing population. If we are to be successful, we face a huge team effort. Only by joining together with like-minded organisations and talented individuals determined to make a difference, can we hope to make a worthwhile impact.
