| Annotation | Ambition Six of 'Ambitions for palliative and end of life care' is "each community is prepared to help". This guidance has been written as a summary of how organisations in particular and society as a whole can participate. It aims to give practical examples of the varied and different public health practice examples, all of which have been put into practice to greater or lesser extents. Chapter 1, on public health approaches to end of life palliative care, introduces the Compassionate City Charter, which suggests 13 social changes to a city's key institutions and activities in relation to dying, death, loss and care, including schools, workplaces, trade unions, places of worship, hospices and nursing homes, museums and art galleries. A city should also lead on policies, services and events to raise awareness of end of life, loss and bereavement. The guidance includes case studies on its implementation in hospices, hospitals, primary care, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), local authorities, and health and wellbeing boards. Lastly, it encourages the undertaking of research or evaluation. (RH). |
