Palliative Care Conference Faculty/Presenter Disclosure Covenant Health’s 25th Annual Palliative Care Conference Faculty/Presenter Disclosure Presenter: Dr Nigel Sykes There are no relationships that pose a conflict of interest to declare AND this program has been developed without support from commercial entities. A Legacy of Pride and Progress 25th Annual Palliative Care Conference 2014 Palliative Care: Past, Present and Future Nigel Sykes St Christopher's Hospice London UK Where did Palliative Care come from? Hospice and Palliative Care began as a healthcare reform initiative inspired by: The perceived failure of existing cancer care The particular failure of doctors to deal adequately with dying patients At heart it has therefore always been medical in nature But to be effective it must be a social movement too “I want what is in your heart and what is in your mind” David Tasma Dame Cicely Saunders 1911-1948 1918-2005 Inspirer of the Founder of the modern hospice and palliative modern hospice and palliative care care movement movement St Christopher‟s Hospice 850 patients and families on any one day Services free to users 48 in-patient beds 900 admissions each year Serves a diverse population of 1.5 million people 15% non-malignancy Independent charity £19 million annual budget Hospice has Grown Up It gave rise to Palliative Care By 1975 (Balfour Mount, Montreal) It became a “Movement” By 1978 (Sandol Stoddard) It spread: Usually by inspiring dynamic individuals re- creating Hospice in locally adapted versions A strength? Not often by governments A weakness? It can save money and lengthen life (Temel et al., 2010) It can significantly reduce the risk of being in hospital at end of life (Seow et al., 2014) Progress with the Vision The UK now has: 223 hospices » 165 voluntary (74%) 3200 beds » 2570 voluntary (80%) 291 Home care teams 311 Hospital support teams 275 Day hospices (Hospice Information) Palliative care exists in 136 countries worldwide (Worldwide Palliative Care Alliance) In the United Kingdom Hospice and Palliative Care have become routine Palliative Medicine has been a recognised specialty for nearly 25 years With training schemes – just like any other specialty Palliative Care has entered government policy The Cancer Plan 2000 National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness Guidance 2004 End of Life care Strategy 2008 National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness End of Life Care Quality Standards 2011 In 2010 the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked UK top in the world for quality of death So is the job done in the UK? When: Even for people with cancer: Three times as many die in hospital as in a hospice Twice as many die in hospital as at home with a community palliative care service Only 1 in every 500 deaths from non-cancer conditions occurs in a hospice Of 500,000 deaths a year up to 150,000 have unmet palliative care needs (Palliative Care Funding Review 2011) Deprived and minority ethnic groups are under- represented in hospices A series of recent highly critical reports and documentaries showed deficits in care delivery and continued exclusion Problems with attitude as well as resource Withdrawal of the Liverpool Care Pathway The Five Priorities for Care 1. The possibility that a person may die within the coming days and hours is recognised and communicated clearly Decisions about care are made in accordance with the person‟s needs and wishes Decisions are reviewed and revised regularly 2. Sensitive communication takes place between staff and the person who is dying and those important to them 3. The dying person, and those identified as important to them, are involved in decisions about treatment and care 4. The people important to the dying person are listened to and their needs are respected 5. Care is tailored to the individual and delivered with compassion – with an individual care plan in place This priority includes the fact that a person must be supported to eat and drink as long as they wish to do so, and their comfort and dignity prioritised (Leadership Alliance for the Care of Dying People, 2014) So is the job done internationally? When: 6 countries account for 79% of global morphine consumption Nearly 100 countries have no known palliative care provision Globally 56 million people die every year - many experience substantial but preventable suffering 35 million die from chronic disease, half of them under the age of 70 What are we aiming at? The objectives of Palliative Care are clear: All diseases Everyone, in every setting, everywhere in the world Achievement is dependent on: Availability of opioid drugs Service integration Good communication – earlier Support for patient and family, recognising needs beyond the physical Adequate funding Getting people out of hospital Effective, widespread programmes of education Hospices – and Palliative Care Are hospices an intrinsic part of the palliative care vision? “We went out in order to go back in again” “There is need for diversity in this field” Historically, the vision was brought to life through hospices What is their place now – are we really trying to get everyone to die in a hospice? A bit more vision… “A few hospices will be needed for… intractable problems, research and teaching, …but most patients will continue to die in hospitals, cancer centres or their own homes; the staff they will find there should be learning how to meet their needs” Saunders, 1978 Society is changing Family splits and dispersal Ethnic and cultural diversity Ethnic minorities make up 8% of the UK population but only 3% of hospice deaths An ageing society The number of over 65 year olds in Canada has doubled in less than 30 years… …and will double again in the next 25 years The annual number of deaths in Canada will increase by 40% by 2026 Disease is changing In developed countries half of people diagnosed with cancer now survive with their disease for at least ten years Cancer survival rates have doubled in the last 40 years But 5 to 10% have chronic pain (Glare et al., 2014) 20 to 30% have chronic fatigue or depression Dementia prevalence expected to double in 25 years More people with childhood-onset chronic disease are surviving into adulthood 1,000 per year make this transition in Japan (Ishizaki et al., 2012) All these groups may have Palliative Care needs How does Hospice and Palliative Care respond to these societal changes and pressures? Taking the Palliative Care Vision into the future… Means bringing physical, psychological, social and spiritual care to all dying people who need it This can only happen if Palliative Care becomes an integral strand of healthcare and gains stable funding The Hospice Vision is about transforming healthcare If this is to happen we must: Influence the generalists Share our knowledge and facilities Open up our care: Increase the number of people we care for Improve access across disease labels Maintain quality Contain costs Taking the vision into the future… How do we “mainstream excellence”? To provide UK hospice deaths to National Institute for Clinical Effectiveness standards for all who want them would entail a transfer of £1,300m from hospitals The risk is a reduction to a symptom control service focused only on the patient‟s obvious physical needs A little for a lot (Randall and Downie, 2006) Can we maintain a balance? Rather more for rather more Palliative Care In-Patient Units (Hospices?)? Access to specialist palliative care beds is needed Not necessarily many: In 1991 St Christopher‟s used 62 beds to support a home care case load of 85 patients In 2014 St Christopher‟s has 48 beds for a home care case load of 850 patients But they produce better outcomes than a consult service alone (Casarett et al., 2011) They ought to deal with complexity How do you maintain the staff to do that if your unit is very small? Making Palliative Care an integral strand of healthcare (According to the UK End of Life Care Strategy) The key is a whole systems approach Dying well in the bed you‟re in (Actually, not having a bad death – 56% of NHS hospital complaints relate to end of life care) Hospices are called to contribute their expertise to this effort But the emphasis is on generalists Whole systems approach - 1 Identify people approaching the end of life Raise community awareness of death and dying (an opportunity for Palliative Care) Start discussion about end of life care preferences Not just those dying of cancer Advance Care Planning Note preferences and review over time Whole systems approach - 2 Coordination of care Locality-wide End of Life registers (not restricted to cancer) to facilitate priority care Care plans available to out of hours and emergency services Palliative care crises do not just happen in hours There must be specialist access 24/7, backed up by out of hours generic services Whole systems approach - 3 Make high quality services available everywhere Not just for cancer Improve the skills of staff who provide generic palliative care Regulatory and higher education bodies need to be involved Whole systems approach - 4 Appropriate management of the last days of life Wherever they occur Not just for cancer – care based on need not illness Involves 24/7 access to skilled nursing, medical and personal care Support of carers Before the patient‟s death and into bereavement What is Missing? Actually making it happen Quality What is practically measurable? What is worth measuring? An equitable funding mechanism The UK government currently pays barely 50% of total Palliative Care costs A version of the Australian

As a building can allow one to shelter in space, it can also allow one to shelter in time. For Saunders, the importance of St. In the brochure, a specific section is dedicated to emphasising the modern scientific medicine that will be practiced, and improved, at St. As outlined in The Need , research into pain and other symptoms specific to the terminally ill was to be an important aspect of the work conducted at St. To this end, Saunders specifically incorporated a post-mortem room and wrote to the Borough Coroner to ascertain any special requirements he might have. By including this room, Cicely provided the space to conduct evidence-based research — important for a fledgling medical field to gain acceptance and authority in its treatments from medical colleagues and others. These studies showed that pain described by patients could be due to more than just the primary cancer — in contrast to what was widely believed — and that pain control should be based on careful assessment of pain to identify the most appropriate medical treatment, be it further surgery or medication. Robert Twycross [38] who conducted clinical research into pain at St. The Hospice provided a ready subset of patients for clinical trials, whilst the high standards of the purpose-built facility— matching those of the National Health Service — arguably added credence to any data that was published from the Hospice.

  • Honouring a 50-Year Career in Hospice and Palliative Care
    A tribute to Robert Twycross Honouring a 50-year career in hospice and palliative care This year Robert reaches two significant milestones, celebrating not only his 80th birthday but achieving a landmark distinguished 50-year career, dedicated to furthering our understanding of effective pain management and the use of drugs in hospice and palliative care. Having graduated from Oxford University Medical School with a BMBCh in 1965 and then attaining his MRCP, he went to work under Dame Cicely Saunders in 1971, as Clinical Research Fellow at St Christopher’s Hospice. His subsequent work into the efficacy of the ‘Brompton Cocktail’, led to its quick demise and adoption of a more rational approach to cancer pain management. For this he was awarded the Oxford University higher degree of Doctor of Medicine. A founder member of the International Association for the Study of Pain, Association for Palliative Medicine (UK), Palliative Care Research Society (UK), British Lymphology Society and European Association for Palliative Care, Robert has taught in up to 50 countries and held many senior academic titles from around the world. The recipient of a wealth of honours including Life Memberships and Lifetime Achievement awards, Robert has written over 300 articles, chapters and editorials and is author and/or editor of several books. With Andrew Wilcock, Robert founded Palliativedrugs.com in 2000 to promote and disseminate information about the use of drugs in palliative care, through the Palliative Care Formulary. The book which has since become the core text for the specialty of Palliative Medicine in the UK, was first published in 1998 with 250 pages and has grown in over six subsequent editions to 939 pages with the publication of PCF7 in 2020.
