4 1. Introduction The Specialist Palliative Care (SPC) Service in Wirral is jointly provided by two organisations: Wirral Hospice St John s (WHSJ) and Wirral Community Trust (WCT) to form one multi-disciplinary team which serves the population of 309,000. The service is available to all adult Wirral residents and non-residents registered with a Wirral GP. WHSJ, as the local SPC in-patient unit, hosts the consultants in Palliative Medicine who are supported by medical, nursing and allied health professionals (AHPs) to deliver in and out-patient care, day care, domiciliary care and Hospice at Home. The consultants contracts of employment are held by Wirral University Hospitals Foundation Trust (WUTH) where in-patients sessions and an out-patient clinic are also delivered. WCT hosts the Integrated Specialist Palliative Care Team (ISPCT) which comprises specialist palliative care nurses and AHPs with admin support. The ISPCT is responsible for delivering specialist palliative care to patients whether they are in hospital, the hospice, care homes or out-patient settings. 2. MDT Meetings Due to this configuration, in which the acute trust does not have its own SPC team, the Multi-disciplinary Team meetings are made up of a combination of SPC team members from the two different organisations. Therefore the two SPCMDT meetings being put forward in Wirral for Peer Review are: Integrated SPCMDT meeting held on Wednesday mornings at WHSJ This meeting deals with hospice in-patients, out-patients, day-care or Hospice at Home patients and those patients under the care of the community-based ISPCT members that meet the network criteria for MDT discussion. Acute trust SPCMDT meeting held on Friday mornings at WUTH This meeting deals with relevant in-patients at WUTH under the care of the SPC team that meet the network criteria for MDT discussion. The ISPCT also holds weekly locality meetings to discuss their particular patients but these do not constitute SPCMDTs as per the guidelines and are therefore outside the measures for Peer Review. 3. Patient Pathway All health and social care service providers in Wirral, including the Specialist Palliative Care Team, use the Wirral Integrated End of Life pathway, below, to denote the stage that a patient is at during their end of life phase and to initiate appropriate end of life tools and the correct anticipatory care. This is based on the Northwest end of life model but has been redesigned into a patient pathway format to include the stages from diagnosis to death. 4/14

Purpose of MDT Aims: Provision of a comprehensive specialist palliative care service in line with the Supportive and Palliative Care for Adults with Cancer guidance (NICE, 2004), the End of Life Care Strategy (DH, 2008) and NICE Quality Standards (NICE, 2011) Provision of timely, effective, multi-disciplinary specialist palliative care, advice and support to patients with advanced, progressive disease Prevention of inappropriate or unnecessary hospital attendance, admission or death through proactive assessment and management of patients palliative care needs Objectives: The SPCMDT is committed to achieving the highest standards of care and patient outcomes by: Holistic assessment of patients physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs at key stages at any stage in trajectory, with a clear plan of care Development of individualised care plans with clearly defined outcomes for each patient Accurate anticipation and identification of changes in patients palliative care needs to ensure they are addressed in a timely manner Delivery of care in the most appropriate place, when possible close to a patient s home/residence Support for patients preferences regarding their preferred priorities of care and place of death 5/14

This is placed in the patient s case notes by the MDT Co-ordinator. Anonymised examples can be found in the evidence file. A copy of the SPCMDT meeting outcome is faxed to the relevant health and social care professionals involved in the patient s care. The patient is informed of the outcome of the discussions by the key worker and this is documented in the patient s case notes. 17. Operational Policy Meeting Arrangements 12-3R-108 An Operational Policy meeting was held for the ISPCT members on 16 th April 2012, 11/14
12 prior to the publication of the final Peer Review measures, to discuss their specific operational issues. However, the final measures have led to a re-configuration of the SPCMDT meetings and therefore a subsequent meeting, for the whole Wirral SPCMDT, was held on 3 rd October 2012 in order to disseminate the revised NSPCG guidelines and discuss how these might impact on the function of the team (see Annual Report). 18. Key Worker Policy 12-3R-110 SPC team members do not often act as the key worker for patients, due to the advisory nature of the service, and the assigned key worker may change with the patient s circumstances, condition and individual needs. However it is important for the patient and their family / carers and all relevant professionals to be aware of whom the key worker is at any one time. The key worker policy can be found in the evidence file which documents the process for agreeing, recording and disseminating details regarding any changes to the key worker whilst the patient is under the care of the SPCMDT. 19. Clinical and Referral Guidelines 12-3R-119 Wirral SPCMDT has agreed the Network Guidelines on Criteria for Referral to a Specialist Palliative Care MDT attached below R-120 Wirral SPCMDT has agreed the Network Clinical Guidelines R-121 Wirral SPCMDT has agreed the Network 24hr Telephone Advice Service Specification R-122 Wirral SPCMDT has agreed the Network 7 Day Visiting Service Specification The above guidelines have been circulated to the site specific MDTs at WUTH with contact details for the SPC team, in and out-of-hours, attached. 20. Education and Training 12-3R-123 Wirral SPCMDT has agreed the network training and education strategy. The Wirral has End of Life facilitators in the CT and hospital trust as well as a Wirral-wide 12/14
13 education facilitator based at WHSJ. These facilitators share responsibility for education and training with the SPCMDT members. 21. Audit 12-3R-124 The SPCMDT has agreed to participate in the network audit programme agreed by the NSPCG. A member of the SPCMDT participates in the regular MCCN Audit Group which feeds back to the NSPCG. The MDS is compiled separately by WCT and WHSJ. Local audits undertaken include: PAIL audit (across WCT and WHSJ) Blood Glucose monitoring for patients on Steroids (WHSJ) 22. Patient/Carer Information, Feedback and Involvement 12-3R-116 Patient / carer feedback is obtained using a variety of tools such as: Patient surveys/questionnaires Comments boxes Service visits Results of the above, and a report on the actions taken, can be found in the evidence file. 23. Patient Information 12-3R-117 The SPCMDT is not currently using the NHS Information Prescriptions. Examples of the types of information given to patients and their families can be found in the evidence file. These include details of local provision of specialist palliative care services and management and care options. Patients are referred for psychological support if, following assessment, this is deemed necessary. However, leaflets regarding the service are not routinely distributed. A carers group is run by WHSJ for those wishing to participate (see poster). 24. Patient Permanent Record 12-3R-115 All patients are offered a permanent record or a summary of their clinical consultation. A Record of Consultation leaflet has also been developed to be used across the SPCMDT in order for patients to be given a hand-held summary. This is currently in use within the hospice setting and is being piloted by the Community Trust s SPC members. An example of a completed record can be found in the evidence file. 25. Discussion of Clinical Trials 13/14
14 12-3R-125 Professor John Ellershaw is the Network Clinical Lead for clinical trials There is a national portfolio of SPC clinical trials. Currently there are no patients within the network recruited into the national trials. This will feature in the work programme for the clinical network group and the SPC MDTs. 14/14
