A Catholic moral and pastoral Theology of End of Life Care (EoLC) in the terminal phase, with particular focus on the development, implementation and phasing out of the Liverpool Care Pathway for the Dying Patient (the LCP) in NHS England and the subsequent Care Plans for Adults in the last days of life that replaced the LCP

The focus of this research project is the creation, implementation and phasing out of the Liverpool Care Pathway for the dying patient (LCP) in NHS England. This project will take into consideration the deficencies with the LCP as highlighted by the Catholic Church, and examine them from the perspective of Catholic moral and pastoral theology on care of the sick and dying, as well as exploring Catholic responses to the new personalised care plans that have replaced the LCP. Het onderzoek richt zich met name op het ontstaan, de implementatie en de fasering van de 'Liverpool Care Pathway voor de stervende patiënt' (LCP) in NHS England.
