About this event
This session introduces the Patient and Carer Tool, developed as part of the National Audit of Care at the End of Life (NACEL) - the national comparative audit of end of life care experienced by dying people and those important to them across acute hospitals, community hospitals and mental health inpatient providers in England, Wales and Jersey.
The tool makes NACEL results accessible to patients, families and carers, presenting five key performance measures - covering specialist palliative care availability, pain relief, personalised care planning, spiritual/cultural needs assessment, and overall care ratings - by country and region.
For community hospitals, the session will cover what the tool shows, how results are drawn from case note review and bereavement survey data, and what participation and public transparency mean for local quality improvement.
The current Patient and Carer Tool can be found here – regional and national level data only.
A full report about the development of the tool can be found here

About this event
This webinar will consider the important role of community hospitals and subacute hospitals to the delivery of integrated care, rehabilitation, and intermediate care closer to home.
We are pleased to co-host this session with the UK Community Hospitals Association, a membership organisation that supports those involved in community hospitals through networking, sharing quality improvements, and contributing to evidence through research.
Guest speakers will compare and contrast models of bed-based intermediate care from the UK, Italy, and Malta, adding further insights and examples to our growing international community of practice on this topic.
