High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Liverpool Care Pathway for the dying patient (LCP) is an outline of care which a patient can expect in the final hours and days of life, which also becomes a structured record of the actions and outcomes that develop. It aims to help doctors provide end-of-life care. The Liverpool care pathway was developed between the Royal Liverpool hospital and the city's Marie Curie hospice in the late 1990s, to transfer practice in the dying phase from hospice to hospital. According to the National Mortality Statistics 2004, only 16% of cancer deaths and under 5% of non cancer deaths occur in a hospice. The pathway was developed to try to provide the same level of nursing expertise at the end of life as during other treatments, regardless of the patients' chosen environment. The pathway document has an annual review by the multidisciplinary steering group who review the latest evidence and feedback from uses of the pathway to ensure that it remains up to date.
