The Amber Care Bundle is a simple approach used in hospitals when clinicians are uncertain whether a patient may recover and are concerned that they may only have a few months left to live. It encourages staff, patients and families to continue with treatment in the hope of a recovery, while talking openly about people s wishes and putting plans in place should the worst happen.

A 3 day programme to 74 healthcare assistants within the hospital. - 4 programmes were delivered to hospital staff. - The programme was delivered by the Practice Development Lead for planned care and the acute liaison nurses. - Sessions were provided by the hospitals safeguarding adults lead nurse and the lead nurse for older people. - This training was supported by the Divisional Head of Nursing for planned care.

People involved included Amy (the patient), her mother, the gynaecology consultant, the safeguarding lead nurse, the learning disability acute liaison nurse, the community learning disability nurse, Psychiatric Consultant - learning disabilities, Hospital Legal Team and The Court. Amy was referred to the hospital for an operation due to having women s problems. The gynaecology consultant tried a variety of treatments to help Amy, but none were successful. It was then decided that Amy may need to have an operation. Amy was assessed by the community learning disability nurse, Psychiatric Consultant -learning disabilities at the request of the gynaecology doctor in relation to their ability to understand complex decisions. The learning disability team sent their report to the gynaecology doctor. Amy was a young adult so the safeguarding lead nurse was involved to make sure all decisions followed capacity and consent guidelines. The learning disability acute liaison nurse was involved to help with assessing Amy in relation to the specific operation and their understanding of risks. The use of easy read information and objects of reference were used to help Amy understand. The safeguarding lead nurse and gynaecology consultant sat in on this meeting as observers as well as Amy s mum. After the meeting it was agreed that Amy was not able to understand all the parts of the operation. From a best interests point, it was agreed by all that Amy should have the operation. A detailed report was sent to the Hospital s legal team. All the information was then sent to the Court for their final decision. The Court agreed that Amy s should have the operation under best interests for their health. Page 16
