@NHSBartsHealth Using the #UniversalCarePlan we can document patient wishes and care plans, including where patients wish to be cared for & die when the time comes. This is accessible by ambulance services, primary care & hospital teams #communication.

@NHSBartsHealth Our staff (drs/nurses/paramedics/EMTs) are trained to recognise patients who are nearing (or at) the end of their life; identify needs they may have; how to manage them; who to refer to. They are comfortable having conversations around dying with patients & relatives #education.

@NHSBartsHealth REACH service and good links with our local hospice (St Joseph’s), community services and primary care, allows patients needs to be identified before they reach ED and means patients can be managed (where appropriate) in the community #coordination.

The UK was once ranked the best country for end-of-life care - but, say experts, that has all changed

In a time of massive pressure for inpatient beds, overcrowded EDs & long ambulance waits, #CommunityEmergencyMedicine is proving that there is an alternative & that this model of care can reduce some of the strain on the #UrgentandEmergencyCare sector.

This is so sad. We need to be supporting and funding End of Life Care; not cutting the funding, making redundancies, and stopping Hospice at Home Services @wesstreeting @SWLNHS @St_Raphs.
Hospices provide vital end-of-life care, often for free. Yet rising costs and a funding shortfall has forced one London hospice to make staff redundant to try and cut costs. @helen_drew | | #politicslondon
