New SPPC Strategy Published
The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care has published Bringing People Together, a new organisational strategy which sets out our strategic priorities for the next three years.
The strategy was developed by the SPPC Council together with
SPPC members and other stakeholders between October 2016 and March 2017.
It outlines four main strategic priorities that the SPPC will work towards between 2017 and 2020:
Listen, Inform & Connect
Over the next three years we aim to:
- Generate, gather and share information and expertise which supports
organisations and practitioners to improve care.
- Foster networks which support collaboration
and joined up working between organisations and individuals towards realising
the aims of Scottish Government's Strategic Framework for Action on Palliative
and End of Life Care.
- Support
research and the spread of effective practice and innovation.
Give Voice
Over the next three years we aim to:
- Provide channels through which the
experiences and ideas of those working in this field can influence the
development of policy and practice.
- Advocate the value of good care towards the
end of life.
- Enable the views and experiences of the public, patients and families to be heard
and exert influence.
Promote open and supportive attitudes and behaviours
Over the next three years we aim to:
- Provide information, resources, leadership,
ideas, networks and events which promote more open and supportive attitudes and
influence public policy.
- Promote the importance of planning ahead for
ill health and death, and reducing inappropriate medical interventions towards
the end of life.
- Build the inclination, confidence and
capacity of other organisations to promote open and supportive attitudes and
behaviours relating to death, dying and bereavement.
Ensure our impact
Over the next three years we aim to:
- Improve our funding position.
- Support and develop our employees and
volunteers.
- Position ourselves to better engage with
and serve all staff who care for people towards the end of life, whether or not
they identify their work as"palliative care".
