Quality assurance for care of the dying: engaging with clinical services to facilitate a regional cross-sectional survey of bereaved relatives' views.

Overall, being able to engage with 18 (60%) organisations within the region and conduct the bereaved relatives' survey showed success of this initiative and was supported by interview findings. The potential to be able to benchmark user-feedback against other organisations was thought to help focus on areas to develop services. This type of quality assurance project could form a template model and be replicated on a national and international level.
