Key Challenges in Implementing the 5 Priorities of Care Monday 30 th March 2015 Cedar Court Wakefield
The Five Priorities for Care National Update (Bee Wee s slides adapted) Suzanne Kite 30 March 2015
One Chance to Get it Right Sets out five new priorities for care to help dying people and those important to them understand what care in the last days and hours of life should be like. The priorities promote a culture of compassion that puts people and their families at the centre of decisions about their treatment and care. They also underline the importance of sensitive and effective communication between staff and the person who is dying and those important to them.
The Five Priorities for Care The possibility that a person may die within the next few days or hours is recognised and communicated clearly, decisions made and actions taken in accordance with the person s needs and wishes, and these are regularly reviewed and decisions revised accordingly. Sensitive communication takes place between staff and the dying person, and those identified as important to them. The dying person, and those identified as important to them, are involved in decisions about treatment and care to the extent that the dying person wants. The needs of families and others identified as important to the dying person are actively explored, respected and met as far as possible. An individual plan of care, which includes food and drink, symptom control and psychological, social and spiritual support, is agreed, coordinated and delivered with compassion.

By June 2015. This action comes under the Engaged, informed individuals and carers the left hand wall of the house of care model. A while a go we asked for volunteers to form a steering group to review the content of EoLC on the Choices website - to highlight gaps and areas for refresh/development. First meeting held in February where we discussed options; limitations (wider transformation of Choices) and ideas to improve the current content. Also discussed opportunities for including case studies and ensuring partners are linking to the Choices website. NHS Choices are pulling together a report, outlining the proposed changes and updates based on the groups feedback I will circulate the report to this group and there will be an opportunity for you all to comment /make further suggestions. 05/05/2015
