There is currently under-identification of people in the last year of life.Aim To increase access to PEoLC through improved identification of the patients known to the Community Trust who are likely to be in the last year of life.Method In 2014 all Community Trust specialist palliative care nurses (SPCNs) were integrated into seven community integrated care teams, each covering a population of c.100,000 people. The SPCNs were co-located and managed within those separate teams. Targeted PEoLC training was delivered to all staff.The SPCNs were supported to improve PEoLC within their locality through an internal clinical network which included:Weekly Specialist Palliative Care multidisciplinary team meetingsSenior SPCN leadership and supportSPCN group clinical supervisionSpecialist Palliative Care clinical governance structure.Results Two of the seven localities have been the most successful in improving identification of people in the last year of life with a 57% increase in number.View this table:Abstract P-95 Table 1 Number of people identified as in last year of life on system1 two localities (annual snapshot march)These reflections from locality manager and SPCN appear key to improvement:Leadership from locality manager on integrating SPCNsWeekly locality multidisciplinary clinical meetings to share ideas, opinions, reflect, debrief, give informal educationIncreased visibility improves working relationships - more conversations, trust, respect, team-work, better understanding of roles/workloadMore shared care and joint visits undertakenSPCN facilitation of team action learning and clinical supervisionOffer of uniform to SPCN.Conclusion Integration of community SPCNs with leadership and support can significantly increase access to PEoLC through improved identification of people in the last year of life.Next steps A comprehensive education programme is supporting staff development with the aim of further improving access to PEoLC and clinical outcomes. A PEoLC dashboard is in development to provide each locality with required clinical data.
