We want to improve the way people talk about dying. By “people” we mean patients, carers, and professionals. To do this, we developed a campaign called ‘Let’s Talk’ in our hospitals and community about planning for the future, with special focus on the complex decision making around cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and DNACPR (Do Not Attempt CPR) decisions, emergency treatment planning and other aspects of planning for the future. Our focus is to improve and embed the training we provide to professionals as well as the level of information we provide to our patients and carers so they can meaningfully engage in advance care planning.
The post holder will be responsible for implementing and sustaining this approach using the Let’s Talk materials across the organisation, measuring impact using quality improvement methodology.
The post holder will be required to map and scope the use of Advance Care Planning, Treatment Escalation Plans and London Urgent Care Plan across the organisation.
You will also provide specialist advice and assessment on pain and other physical symptoms as well as psychological, emotional, social and spiritual concerns. Our team includes nursing, pharmacy, medical, social work, and psychology colleagues. Our Band 7 nurses participate in developing our Band 6 nurses within the team with support from our Matrons, Consultant Nurse & Deputy Head of Nursing. The post requires working across both inpatient hospital and the community teams.
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK’s best known hospitals – Guy’s, St Thomas’, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield – as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.
We are among the UK’s busiest, most successful foundation trusts. We provide specialist care for patients including heart and lung, cancer and renal services as well as a full range of local hospital and community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark.
The Palliative Care team provides specialist information and supportive care to people facing serious illness. This includes symptom control and advance care planning. We recognise that emotional, spiritual, family and financial worries can be just as important as physical problems and we support with these aspects of care as well.
OurPalliative and End of Life Care teamincludes specialist nurses and doctors, pharmacists, social workers, psychological support staff and administrative staff to help you cope with the consequences of serious illnesses such as cancer and long-term health conditions. We are able to see patients in hospital, in their own home, and in our outpatient clinics. We work closely with GPs, hospital doctors and community nurses, as well as other local hospitals and hospices, to support our patients and those important to them.
