Compassionate communities, as a practice method, is found in Ambition 6 of the Palliative and End of Life Ambitions Framework if communities are prepared to help. The Care Quality Commission now seeks evidence from hospices about what they are doing to achieve this ambition. This has created a lot of interest in work streams that involve communities. We at Compassionate Communities UK have found in our training sessions that considerable confusion exists about how to approach engagement and development in compassionate community projects. There is a tendency to think about compassionate communities as something on its own rather than something that can be integrated into the routine ’business’ of hospices, enhancing the day to day clinical care and seeing it as a natural part of conversations of any sort with communities members. There is also a tendency to approach compassionate communities as another service that the hospice provides for the community, doing something ’to’ communities rather than discovering the rich resources and treasures that are already out there. To try and help develop existing programmes, and to stimulate interest in new ways of working, we are putting on this session. We will explore discovering community treasures, realigning services in the context of community and how to start community conversations from a public health palliative care perspective.

Does anyone know about waterwalls? This is a tranquil feature we would like to add to our new visiting and atrium space at Rocmaura Nursing Home as part of our Palliative Suite Project. Rocmaura Foundation has been working on this major project for several months, to bring families and our 150 residents a serene and comfortable space to spend time together as we fulfill our mission to help to give our frail and aging an enhanced quality of life in our home. We often don’t talk about palliative care in nursing homes, but it is an important part of long term care. Health Canada says there are many misconceptions about end of life care: Myth: Palliative care is only for the last days or weeks of life. Fact: A palliative approach to care can begin much earlier than you may think. Palliative care is holistic care, offered in any setting, for people of any age, living with serious illness that involves a range of care providers. Palliative care focuses on quality of life and supports for people living with serious illness and those closest to them. The Canadian Medical Association says “all Canadian residents should have access to comprehensive, quality palliative care services regardless of age, care setting, diagnosis, ethnicity, language and financial status.” The goal of palliative care is to provide comfort and support to patients and their families. Picture cozying up to a warm fireplace and the tranquil serenity of time spent next to a trickling waterfall with those who care about you. That is how I would want it to feel.

No acknowledgment of patient suffering.” 🔎 Why Stay Updated? In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, staying informed is crucial.
