Have you had experience of hospital and community services through the care and support of family or friends?
Do you belong to a support or care group associated with long term or terminal illness?
If the answer is "yes", to either or both these questions, this is an invitation to join a Patient and Public Reference Group to support the development of an End of Life Care Strategy for Portsmouth and South East Hampshire.
If the answer is "yes", to either or both these questions, this is an invitation to join a Patient and Public Reference Group to support the development of an End of Life Care Strategy for Portsmouth and South East Hampshire.
The vision of the End of Life Strategy is to enable adult patients to
receive timely end of life care which is planned where possible and
delivered by the appropriate person to meet the needs of the patient and
family 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This care will respond flexibly
and rapidly to meet any changing needs and provide for choice of place
of death. This vision is being taken forward by an End of Life Steering
Group which comprises people working in end of life care in health and
social care settings across hospital, community and the voluntary
sector.
The Patient and Public Reference Group is being set up as a sub group of the Steering Group. The purpose is to ensure the experiences and views of individuals and local interest groups influence and contribute to the development of the End of Life Strategy. The first meeting is being planned for February, with an introduction by a GP who has a special interest in end of life care. The group is expected to meet four times over a 12-month period.
If you are interested in joining this group and would like more information, please contact Claire Pond at claire.pond@ports.nhs.uk
