1- Defining 'end of life':
The GMC says that patients are:
• approaching the end of life when they are likely to die within the next 12 months. This includes:
o those patients whose death is expected within hours or days;
o those who have advanced, progressive incurable conditions;
o those with general frailty and co-existing conditions that mean they are expected to die within 12 months;
o those at risk of dying from a sudden acute crisis in an existing condition;
o and those with life-threatening acute conditions caused by sudden catastrophic events.
- The term 'approaching the end of life' can also apply to extremely premature neonates whose prospects for
survival are known to be very poor, and patients who are diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state (PVS)
for whom a decision to withdraw treatment and care may lead to their death.
