Theo Georghiou: Health and social care at the end of life

In this audio slideshow, Theo Georghiou, Senior Research Analyst at the Nuffield Trust, describes the key findings of a Nuffield Trust study commissioned by the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network, looking at the use of local authority-funded social care by individuals at the end of life.

The study used innovative data linkage techniques developed by the Nuffield Trust to create what is thought to be the largest linked health and social care dataset in England.

The full findings of this work have been published in the report: Understanding patterns of health and social care at the end of life (Nuffield Trust, October 2012). Find out more about our work in this area from our dedicated project page.
