8 Mary Potter Hospice Palliative Care Education And Training Programme For Health Professionals 2020 9Working with Primary Care
As part of our work with primary care, Mary Potter Hospice has been
invited to teach three evening sessions at Compass Health (dates to be
confirmed). Led by the Hospice medical consultants, these sessions are
focussed on supporting General Practitioners and their patients with
palliative care needs. The sessions will include:
• identifying patients who may be in their last year of life;
• how to open conversations and make plans with patients and their
families;
Working with the Palliative Care Regional Steering Group, the Hospice will
also work alongside the GP practices to help develop a register of palliative
care patients, develop palliative care plans and participate in their regular
Health care Homes multidisciplinary meetings.
The Hospice team is available to meet with teams in primary care to
provide individual short sessions or case studies/advice tailored to your
needs. Please contact us.
