Early Identification and Care Planning Workshop

Developing a Palliative and End of Life Strategy for Cheshire & Merseyside 

Following the publication of the Population Based Needs Assessment (PBNA), Cheshire and Merseyside ICB are beginning to work on a new five-year strategy for Palliative and End of Life Care (PEOLC).

This strategy aims to:

• Raise the profile of PEOLC across the system
• Strengthen early identification and personalised care planning
• Improve outcomes and experiences for patients, families and carers
• Reduce avoidable unplanned hospital activity

An Invitation

We invite you to join an engagement workshop exploring how we can improve Early Identification and Care Planning to support the development of a Palliative and End of Life Strategy for Cheshire & Merseyside. The C&M End of Life Dashboard clearly shows that overall performance is behind ambition for Early Identification and Care Planning.

The PBNA shows a complex picture

• around 10% of all GP practices perform at over 50%, but around 8% score less than 10% (for Early Identification),
• there are stark difference between patients with cancer or dementia, and those with conditions such as COPD or heart failure,
• as well as differences in neighbourhood and between sexes.

Workshop Overview

The workshops will explore issues such as

• What would improve Early Identification and Care Planning performance (to get to our 60% targets)?
• What are the inequalities and unwarranted variation implications and how do we overcome these?
• What is the Impact on wider system, and how do we reduce this?
