Palliative and End of Life Care Conference, 2nd of November, 2023

We will be holding our annual all day conference for health and social care support workers online this year. This conference is equally for care home and care at home staff as well as social care support staff working in clinical settings.To register and secure your place on the conference, see the link below.

Kenny Steele, CEO, Highland Hospice

The profile of palliative and end of life care across Scotland is rising, partly due to our ageing population, with many in need of very defined support for increasing complexity, including dementia.

We are very proud to deliver work in partnership with the Scottish Government, through ECHO, and aligned this with the framework for adults in residential care, My Health My Care My Home.

Our colleagues in NHS Highland and the independent sector have also been developing practices aligned within the framework covering working within wider MDTs, emergency care, palliative and end of life care, sustaining the workforce and digital technology.

In addition to this we were delighted to welcome care at home staff into the hospice for an exchange of learning and this was beneficial for all.

Progress with our ambitious End of Life Care Together programme has further highlighted the increasing importance of adult social care in enabling good palliative and end of life care in homely settings. The launch of the 24/7 Palliative Care Helpline is just one example of increasing support being made available to support staff, families and patients.

We look forward to seeing our health and social care colleagues at our online conference again this year where we have selected topics which highlight key practice areas in palliative and end of life care.

Best wishes

Kenny
