The purpose of the study was to consider the emerging characteristics of placed-based primary, community and social care in Wales, and the implications of this approach for end of life services across the country. It is hoped that the report captures some of these implications and that it offers a useful contribution to thinking in Wales and beyond about this important subject. The study involved interviews and focus group meetings with over 70 people from all parts of Wales, including people with lived experience of palliative and end of life care, professionals working in the field and sector leaders. The report suggests the following: the principles of place-based care underpin a key strand of thinking about the future of community-based health, care and wellbeing in Wales; Welsh Government remains committed to these place-based care principles as part of its Covid recovery programme, and our interviewees were supportive; demand for high quality palliative and end of life care is likely to continue growing for the foreseeable future and Welsh Government is committed to continued improvement in this area; better place-based community provision is key to supporting people in their own home, and reducing the need for inappropriate hospital care - primary care clusters may be the starting point for designing local place-based provision; there are developments at national, regional, local and provider levels which might help palliative and end of life care services move forward as part of a place-based approach to care in Wales; at a national level this might include common locality service models, encouraging pooled resources, and seamless practice and systems; at a regional level this might include rethinking commissioning and partnership arrangements, investing more in community-based care, developing staff and exploring how palliative and end of life services might become more embedded in the wider community offer; at a local level this might include agencies working together to develop and pilot more mature partnership arrangements and ensuring that the ethos and skills of palliative and end of life care inform wider practice; for palliative and end of life specialist providers this might mean building more effective partnerships with other agencies, and working with commissioners on creative ways of funding services and working together for the benefit of all people in a local area.

This study examined the changes in comfort when adding ritualized chanting to the palliative care of cancer patients at the end of life. The method was a randomized control trial (RCT) performed with 60 cancer patients. Comfort was measured using the End of Life Planning Questionnaire (EOLPQ) with 30 participants in each group [ritualized chanting with palliative care (RCPC) and palliative care alone (PCA)] at baseline (T1), at a 3-week (T2) and the 6-week (T3) time frame. Comfort data were analyzed using two (groups) X three (time) repeated measures MANOVA. There were no significant statistical differences between the groups at baseline. Between-group differences indicated that comfort experienced by participants with the addition of ritualized chanting to palliative care significantly increased (p < .001) over time. The addition of ritualized chanting to the palliative care for cancer patients at the end of life can create changes in their comfort. (Edited publisher abstract)

Brings together evidence from research, practice, and improvement from three linked reports from the NHS Education for Scotland Networked Evidence Search and Summary Service on what works in supporting care at home staff providing palliative and end of life care. It reports that the role of care at home staff is emotionally and practically demanding, yet there is often little or no training or support. The report highlights what staff need to support them and the actions that need to be put in place. These include suggestions to improve staff access to information; learning and development needs; and service improvement in the areas of multi-agency communication and bereavement support.
