Welcome to the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme

In 2004 Marie Curie Cancer Care launched its first major palliative care service improvement plan, the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme, to provide greater choice for patients in end of life care.

The programme has five projects across the UK - in Lincolnshire, Leeds, Tayside (Scotland), Barnet (north London) and south-east London. Somerset and Tyneside to launch in mid-2008.

 
 

Projects

 
  • The Somerset project Somerset is the sixth site to adopt the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme.
  • The south-east London project South-east London is the fifth and largest ever project in the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme.
  • The Barnet project Barnet, North London, is the fourth site to adopt the Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme. Launched in April 2007, the project represents an important step for the programme - being the first to get underway in London.
  • The Leeds project Leeds is the third largest city in England with an ethnically mixed population of 780,000 and large areas of deprivation.
  • The Tayside project The Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme’s second project is located in Tayside, Scotland. Tayside’s mix of rural and urban, affluent and deprived areas offers excellent opportunities to test models of service delivery.
  • The Lincolnshire project The Marie Curie Delivering Choice Programme’s first flagship project was launched in Lincolnshire in October 2004, and provides an important opportunity to plan and develop high quality palliative care in a complex setting.
