This conference examined the next steps for palliative and end of life care in England.
It was a timely opportunity to assess the updated Ambitions for Palliative and End of Life Care: A national framework for local action and how its aims can be achieved.
The agenda brought out latest thinking on key priorities in the framework and wider issues, looking at:
- patient-centred care
- service delivery, local leadership, integrated care systems, and community networks
- tackling variation, sharing best practice and addressing inequalities
- regulation and quality care delivery
- workforce development, specialist nurse shortages, and staff retention and wellbeing
- the pandemic, the NHS backlog, and increased demand
- the evidence base, and innovative practices and technologies
We are pleased to have been able to include keynote sessions with Dr Catherine Millington-Sanders, National Clinical End of Life Care Champion, Royal College of General Practitioners and Marie Curie; Alison Murray, Head of Inspection, Adult Social Care, Care Quality Commission; and Julie Pearce, Chief Nurse and Executive Director of Quality and Caring Services, Marie Curie - as well as keynote contributions from NICE, Compassion in Dying, the Royal College of Nursing, King’s College London and NHS Evidence Specialist Collection for Supportive and Palliative Care.
The chair was Baroness Finlay of Llandaff, Co-Chair, All-Party Parliamentary Group on Hospice and End of Life Care, and the conference was an opportunity for stakeholders to consider the issues alongside key policy officials who attended from DHSC; the Department of Health, NI; DWP - as well as parliamentary pass-holders from the House of Commons.
