The primary purpose of this document is to provide the underpinning framework of core National Occupational Standards (NOS) for the end of life care workforce, including health care professionals (medics, nurses and allied health professionals), managers, social care workers, care assistants and ancillary staff. National Occupational Standards describe performance as the outcomes of a person's work. They focus on what the person needs to be able to do, as well as what they must know and understand to work effectively. These standards can support workforce development, training and education, and the development of new and enhanced posts and roles. The tables in this document show NOS mapped against the key core competence areas of: communication skills; assessment and care planning; symptom management; advance care planning; and the values and knowledge which overarch them. The mapping identifies those NOS that are core to end of life care. The tables also indicate which NOS might be relevant for workers at different levels of capability and responsibility, using the three categories of assistant, practitioner, and advanced practitioners.
