Editor's Notes
- The 2012 National
- [Presenter to read out words below] To arrive at this ambitious plan we listened to many voices. We heard from people affected with a terminal illness and their families about their experiences. We asked them what life is like for them and what care and support they want to help them through difficult times. Our staff and volunteers shared their experiences. We met with many others from outside the organisation to discuss how, together, we can improve care and support for people with a terminal illness and their families. We also commissioned research to ensure that our plans for the future are underpinned with robust evidence.
- [Presenter to read out words below] We will reach more people and their families living with a terminal illness. This will mean we help people regardless of their diagnosis, and sooner. We will work with other providers and key decision-makers to improve care and support, wherever it is delivered. We will continue to have nursing at the heart of what we do.
- [Presenter to read out words below] We will improve the way terminally ill people are cared for across the UK. As the experts in care for people with terminal illnesses, we will work with other providers and key decision-makers to improve care and support, wherever it is delivered.
- [Presenter to read out words below] We will manage our charity as effectively and efficiently as possible. To deliver our strategic plan, we will invest in four key areas of the charity – our people, our fundraising, our brand and our communications.
- [Presenter to read out words below] There will be an increase in the number of deaths. This means more people will be living with a terminal illness in the future. Many of these people will have multiple needs and their care is likely to be much more complex. And that’s a concern, because many people today are already not able to live the way they want towards the end of their life. There is much to do to guarantee that everyone with a terminal illness gets the personalised help they want and need. It is essential we respond to the diverse challenges and healthcare environments across the four nations that make up the UK. We believe passionately that everyone who is terminally ill and their families should be able to access high quality personalised care. They should be treated with kindness and dignity, with services that respond to their individual needs. We believe this should be the case regardless of where people spend their last days, whether that is in a hospital, a hospice, a care home or their own home.
