The Somerset End of Life Education team was formed in July 2020 in response to a growing demand for cross-organisational working to improve the quality and parity of access to EOLC Education. Whilst the team are employed by Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, they are funded from Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group, and as such are expected to work with teams countywide who support those living with life-limiting conditions.

The Somerset End of Life Education team are:
