Patients, families, carers and professionals across Kent and Medway worked with NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)* to co-produce a new end of life care strategy.
Views were shared via:
a survey
six virtual workshops
a feedback review session.
Recommendations informed the development of the strategy approved at the CCG’s Clinical Cabinet in August 2021.
The Clinical Cabinet is a committee of clinicians that review and comment on clinical commissioning strategies and consider and approve (within delegated limits) proposals of improvements and changes to care pathways.
Actions taken as a result aim to align service provision and improve the quality of palliative and end of life care.
These include:
education and training for using the RESPECT Care Plan tool
planning a review of the bereavement service
developing a single point of contact for patients, their families and carers.
Note: NHS Kent and Medway Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) ceased to exist as a statutory organisation in July 2022. The CCG’s responsibilities now sit with NHS Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB).
