End of Life Services in Brent 3

NHS North West London CCG is commissioning for the provision of health services for the adult (aged 18 and over) GP-registered population of the North of the Borough of Brent and Harrow, who by virtue of the operation of guidance in respect of identification of the responsible commissioner are the responsibility of NWL CCG (part of Brent & Harrow Borough cluster). This includes residents from adjoining boroughs registered with Brent GPs (within a two mile radius). However, the "Hospice at Home" service is available to all Brent registered/resident patients. The Provider will provide Specialist Palliative Care to patients with progressive, incurable disease for whom death is foreseeable. The majority of patients will have cancer, but appropriate care will be offered to patients with all end-stage conditions, such as those with Motor Neurone Disease, Heart Failure and COPD. Where possible, care will be provided for people in their own homes.
