A public health approach to EoLC: Examples from England
Dr Libby Sallnow Research Fellow, St Joseph’s Hospice London Doctoral Student, University of Edinburgh
Overview of talk
• To review three examples of a public health approach in England • To understand how these concepts can be translated into practice • To look at the impacts that can follow from this work
Now an international movement
St Joseph’s Hospice, East London • Recognition that we were
not meeting the needs of our local communities
• Aware we were delivering a professional service – not in partnership with the community
• Resonated with the core mission and values
• Focus on sustainability • Upstream interventions
Initial Plan (2006)
• Understood that we are not experts in community development
• Needed to incorporate research from the outset
• Saw it as a journey – long term funding and support
• Embed it within the culture of the organisation • Build local partnerships • Understand what was already happening
First Steps (2007-9)
• Partnership with Social Action for Health • Strong links within the community
• Dialogue events • Health Guides • Presentations to hospice staff • Staff supported to attend public health and
palliative care conferences
