| 31 | Palliative Care Service Development Guidelines These Guidelines have been developed to articulate PCA's expectations for the palliative care system and service design through a populationbased approach. |
| 32 | Palliative Care State Toolkit The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and the Hospice Action Network (HAN) created the State Palliative Care Toolkit as a resource to assess access to palliative care in the United States. Our hope is that the toolkit will assist state coalitions and leaders to develop palliative care legislation to improve access to these valuable services for seriously ill individuals and their families. |
| 33 | Palliative Care: symptom management and end-of-life care This module provides guidelines to prepare health workers to provide palliative care treatment and advice in clinic and to back up community caregivers and family members who need to provide home-based palliative care. For each symptom, the guidelines for the health worker include both a summary of non-pharmaceutical recommendations for home care and the clinical management and medications which the health worker might also provide, based on a limited essential drug list on the last page of this module. Alternative or additional drugs can be added during country adaptation. The home care advice also appears in a Caregiver Booklet which is illustrated. Health workers should use it to prepare families and community-caregivers to care for patients at home. This needs to be locally adapted. |
| 34 | Palliative Care: When to Refer a Patient and How to Have This Important Discussion A slide show presentation Webinar to review the differences between hospice and palliative care services, role of palliative care in HF, discuss the management of symptoms commonly experienced by HF patients at end of life and address important issues in advance care planning for patients with HF. |
| 35 | Planning and implementing palliative care services: a guide for programme managers. This is a practical manual on how to plan and implement palliative care services, integrated into existing health-care services, at national or subnational level. It has been designed primarily for health programme managers at national, provincial, or district level, whether they are responsible for noncommunicable diseases, infectious disease programmes, health services, or other technical areas where palliative care is important. |
| 36 | Practical Guidance for Palliative Care Team The present practical guidance was prepared mainly for the palliative care teams that would soon start their activities, those that had no full-time staff, and those that had difficulty in promoting their activities. However, this practical guidance is also useful for the palliative care teams that actively promote their activities. |
| 37 | Specialist Level Palliative Care: Information for commissioners This guidance has been prepared by expert reference groups supported by NHS England, and led by the National Clinical Director for End of Life Care, in response to requests by commissioners, service providers and clinicians for a clear description of what should be provided in terms of specialist level palliative care for people with progressive, life-limiting illness who have complex needs, and/or those whose usual care teams require the expert advice, guidance and support of those with specialist knowledge and skills in palliative care. |
| 38 | The Palliative Care Handbook - A Good Practice Guide The aim of future or advance care planning (ACP) is to establish what matters most to the patient in order to plan and give the care that suits them best. This might range from rehoming a beloved pet to concern for their family, wishes for organ donation or a fear of dying in pain. |
| 39 | The Palliative care Team Competences Necessary for its Success and Factors that Influence the Team Functionality The aim of this thesis was to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge about palliative care teams and the competences and factors that influence the success and functionality of the team. The results of this study point to communication, education, morals, and responsibility as important competences of palliative care staff. |
| 40 | The Process of Dying Dying is a natural part of life. All of us will die one day. As with birth, it helps to prepare for the experiences of dying and death. The following information may be useful for the person who is dying, their family and carers. |
