So many health and social care providers are struggling with aspects of end of life and dementia care because of workforce shortages and a lack of investment in learning and development. We rely on CQC to flag these issues and to advocate for good quality palliative and end of life care for patients and their loved ones. The new CQC single assessment process introduces more evidence gathering from patients , families and professionals - if we are to eradicate poor quality end of life care we need to listen to all of their voices and stories. Going forwards The End of Life Partnership welcomes the introduction of partner feedback as part of the CQC single assessment framework. We see many examples of exemplary care, but unfortunately we also see reoccurring themes that hinder good quality care at the end of life. Let’s work together to instil trust back into the care regulatory system and to shine a light on both good and bad practice to ensure a strong a positive future for palliative and end of life care for all. #cqc #endoflifecare #palliative

With NHS trusts like University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust adopting myAsthma, we aim to help to solve some of the key challenges highlighted in the #DarziReport, particularly point 5- highlighting the issues around waiting times and the strain on NHS services, from GP access to emergency care. Dr Kay Roy PhD FRCP, Consultant Respiratory Physician University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, commented; “We are thrilled to introduce myAsthma as a self-management tool to our community. It represents a significant step forward in empowering our patients with asthma to take control of their health. By providing them with personalised support, we believe this tool will greatly improve their quality of life. Additionally, the use of myAsthma in outpatient settings will help triage patients more effectively, ensuring they are seen in a timely manner and appropriately referred for the right investigations and services. Our team is excited to see the positive impact this will have on the asthma population across North Central London ICB." As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, digital solutions like myAsthma can help to improve both access to care and patient outcomes. #mymhealth #DigitalHealth #myAsthma #NHS #HealthcareInnovation #PatientEmpowerment #AsthmaCare #HealthcareReform
