In brief

  • The King’s Fund is working with Marie Curie Cancer Care to evaluate its Delivering Choice Programme. The programme aims to develop services that help patients to make free and informed choices about where they're treated and where they wish to die.
  • Seven projects have been set up across the UK. The evaluation results will be fed back to the sites so that they can develop a culture of reflective practice and improve their service delivery. The project will also evaluate the sustainability of the programme as a model of service redesign.
  • The evaluation work started in April 2007 and will continue for three years.
