This is the fourth Leeds Strategic Framework for Adult Palliative and End of Life Care 2010-2015 replacing the Leeds Strategy for Palliative Care covering 2006 to 2009. The framework provides a clear direction for developing and improving palliative care and end of life services, across the city, during the five years 2010 - 2015.
The aspiration for Leeds is to increase the percentage of patients who are cared for and die in their preferred place of care. This will mean reducing the number of deaths in a hospital setting, and increasing those at home.
Our vision is that people who have palliative care needs and who die in Leeds have what for them and their carers constitutes a positive, quality, personal experience.
The active holistic care of patients with advanced progressive illness. It is the management of their pain and other symptoms together with the provision of psychological, social and spiritual support. (Source: Leeds Strategic Framework for Adult Palliative and End of Life Care 2010-2015).
Palliative care is a term that is used to describe the care given to people who have an illness that is not possible to cure and may get worse over time. Patients may be on treatments to slow progression of the illness. The aims of palliative care are to help ease pain or other troublesome symptoms and to look at ways of helping and supporting patients and their families and/or friends. (Source: www.bradford.nhs.uk)
The Leeds Palliative Care website www.leedspalliativecare.co.uk provides advice and information to patients and carers dealing with life limiting illness. It details the care available from a hospice, how patients can be supported and cared for in their own home or in hospital and much more.
