Have your say on adult community specialist palliative care
Have your say on the future of specialist community palliative care for North West London residents.
About
NHS North West London is inviting the public to share their views on the options for delivering improvements to adult community specialist palliative care services through their questionnaire and public events in December 2024 and into the new year.
The consultation focuses on creating a community specialist palliative care service that ensures equal access to quality care—whether at home, in the community, or at a hospice. This means every adult in North West London will have access to round-the-clock care and support when they are at their most vulnerable.
Proposed key improvements
The proposals aim to address a wide range of needs, such as:
- A specialist palliative care nursing team available 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, across all boroughs.
- 24/7 telephone support for specialist palliative care advice for all north west London residents.
- “Hospice at Home” services available around the clock.
- Specialist palliative care outpatient clinics in each borough
- Improved access to psychological and bereavement support for families at local hospices.
- Plus many others
Getting involved
- You can also download and print a paper copy of the questionnaire here.
You can then send it them (no stamp needed) at: FREEPOST, HEALTHIER NORTH WEST LONDON
- NHS North West London are holding a series of formal public meetings. There will be a short presentation on the proposals and then open question and answer discussions, designed to give everyone the opportunity to take part.
If you would like to come to the public meetings, you will need to book in advance so that we can ensure we have enough space and staff to hear everyone’s views.
These meetings can be viewed here.
