Cont.
“might have spent the last 20 years living on their sofa, but
they’re not allowed to die on their sofa. Or if they do, they’re
not allowed carers because they can’t bend down to the sofa.
And I don’t know, it can be very frustrating sometimes”

Cont.
“a number of these admissions [to A&E], I think, the last ten
to fifteen years have almost doubled because you guys
[GP’s] are no longer being integrated within that pathway and
you’re no longer seeing them at home before they leave”

Need for training
• Two types of training

• Experience• Knowledge
Acquisition of skills
Confidence
![Page 12: Professional perspectives on palliative care services for people with dementia in England Nathan Davies Laura Maio Dr Krish Vedavanam Professor Jill Manthorpe](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c26f3a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Skill Acquisition
“I would like to be prepared for setting up a syringe driver really quickly
and have a system in place for doing that, which is something I’ve asked
our local palliative care team if they can provide direct training on that,
so that it can happen really quickly if the need arises, because I don’t
know, I think most of the time the need isn’t there, but I wouldn’t like to
feel uncomfortable about being a bit clumsy and slow about setting it up”
General Practitioner

Confidence
“[…] there’s a lot, a huge amount of experience out there,
they just need a little bit of confidence to get past the first
hurdle and there will be a lot of good knowledge about, you
know, just basic approaches around dementia care”
General Practitioner

Spectrum of emotions – fear and trust
• Clinicians and other professionals are faced with the fear of legal pursuit if something was to go wrong or goes against the wishes of the families
• A need for trust in order to establish collaborative working relationships and environments, but this often lacking– Among professionals
– Families with professionals
![Page 15: Professional perspectives on palliative care services for people with dementia in England Nathan Davies Laura Maio Dr Krish Vedavanam Professor Jill Manthorpe](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c26f3a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Fear
• “And a lot of staff are very frightened about doing
the wrong thing I think sometimes, they’re quite
frightened about families”

Trust
“But I think more and more these days relatives
actually are more demanding and have higher
expectations and see people dying as a failure”

Conclusions
• Lessons from cancer care
– Structure is needed
– But not at the expense of flexibility
• Care Pathway is needed
• Inclusive working is needed but only available from a structure
• Training doesn’t always mean ‘training’
