Presentation and Discussion: Making a difference that matters to all

Sandra Campbell, Nurse Consultant on the Macmillan Palliative and End of Life Care Project, gave a presentation on a new partnership project between the Scottish Ambulance Service and Macmillan, the key objectives of which are to:

• work in collaboration with other teams in Health and Social Care and Third Sector to develop alternative pathways to admission to hospital when death is expected in the next few days.
• develop a comprehensive education programme.
• work with teams to develop professional to professional communication pathways to avoid admission to hospital from a care home setting.

The presentation was followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.
