13 years in this sector and to date I still can not understand why the impact that Hospices have on our healthcare system is not recognised: - From a patient perspective a pain free death with dignity - From a hospital perspective avoiding patients unnecessarily dying in hospital (or even worse the Emergency Department) as well as supporting hospital discharges - From a community nursing perspective taking the load off the already overstretched community nursing teams and ensuring patients remain at home (where most want to die) - From an ambulance perspective freeing up paramedics on call outs with hospice community support or indeed avoid an admission to hospital through an admission to a bedded unit instead - From an NHS workforce perspective, educating our healthcare colleagues in the specialism which is end of life care - From a financial perspective every admission saved, every conveyance saved, every discharge saved, literally saves the NHS £Millions. Whoever wins the next election................your life is a story and the ending matters.
