Popis: | PurposePalliative care requires integration between services, organisations and the community. A series of community engagement programmes, named “Listening Events”, were conducted across the Isle of Man. The aim was to involve the community in the development of Hospice strategy by sharing their views on the future of palliative and end of life care.Design/methodology/approachThree Listening Event programmes were conducted in community settings, secondary schools and the Isle of Man’s University College. The investigators facilitated discussions on current knowledge of Hospice services, what would matter to people should they need to use these, and how Hospice could best serve the community in the future. Participants and investigators noted thoughts and comments. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.FindingsIn total, 899 people participated from across the community. Main themes surrounded effective care, person-centred care and integrated care. Most themes agreed across the three programmes, despite some nuances.Originality/valueThe results were used as an evidence base from which Hospice Isle of Man’s new strategy was derived in order to ensure that it aligned with the community’s needs. By initiating conversations and discussions in the community, the Listening Events may have also increased understanding about hospice care. |
