Welcome to the GSF Centre.
Gold Standards Framework gives outstanding training to all those providing end of life care to ensure better lives for people and recognised standards of care.
The National Gold Standards Framework (GSF) Centre in End of Life Care is the UK’s leading provider of training in end of life care for generalist frontline staff.
GSF is a systematic, evidence based approach to optimising care for all patients approaching the end of life, delivered by generalist frontline care providers. We run training programmes that help to support all people approaching their last year/s or so of life in any setting.
The recent NHSE Long Term Plan (Jan 2019) recommends improved proactive, personalised and well-coordinated care for all people in the final year of life. Use of the GSF Quality Improvement Programmes will enable you to fully achieve these requirements in all locations, as well as the new revised GP’s QOF in End of Life Care, NICE Guidance and NHSE Ambitions in End of Life Care.
See videos from Tim Straughan, NHSE Deputy Director of Personalised care; and Sarah Jarvis, TV presenter, GP, Clinical Director Patient Information.
