In 2006 a pilot programme was launched in partnership with six NHS trusts, supported by their charities, and two Marie Curie Cancer Care hospices to improve environments for care at the end of life.
The objective was to see whether The King's Fund programme, Enhancing the Healing Environment (EHE), could be adapted to these sensitive health care environments.
