ENHANCING CARE AT END
OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE The Irish Hospice Foundation implements major projects
• As part of its Hospice Friendly Hospitals programme the Irish Hospice Foundation has developed The Quality Standards for End-of-Life Care in Hospitals in partnership with health care staff and interested parties, including bereaved relatives. The standards set out a shared vision on the end-of-life care each person should have and what each hospital should aim to provide.
• The Irish Hospice Foundation is committed to funding Ireland’s first children’s palliative care consultant and five of eight outreach nurses in the community, in partnership with the HSE. The nurses will provide support and co-ordinate care for children with life-limiting illnesses at home. The IHF will provide €2.5 million towards this programme.
• A Primary Care Palliative Care Steering committee was established by the Irish Hospice Foundation in partnership with ICGP and HSE. This group is seeking to identify palliative care initiatives, that support Community and Primary Care teams in their response to adults with advanced progressive diseases, who are expected to die within 12 months. Consultation meetings are being planned in Cork, Tullamore, Dublin, North West and North East over the summer to seek views of interested health care professionals.
