Abstract
Description
Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) has today launched a comprehensive Toolkit for Compassionate End-of-Life Care to enable our healthcare workers deliver compassionate end-of-life care during this latest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Supporting people to die well in the circumstances now faced in health and residential care settings, is an enormous challenge. Infection control measures and strict visiting restrictions, although vital, mean the empathetic and high standards of end-of-life care that is the norm in theses settings is being impacted.
Developed in consultation with healthcare staff in acute hospitals, residential care and nursing home sectors, and those working in bereavement support and education, the Toolkit includes resources and guidance on subjects like communicating through PPE, care of the dying person, supporting the bereaved and self-care for staff.
