Ealing’s Meadow House Hospice, which is part of London North West Healthcare (LNWH) charity, has unveiled its new five-year strategy at a launch event which saw the Mayor of Ealing Councillor Yvonne Johnson attend.
The new five-year strategy was developed with input from related partner organisations as well as staff working at the hospice which supports residents in Ealing and Hounslow.
In a statement, the hospice revealed its new goals include:
- Support partners to provide non-specialist palliative care by developing and resourcing an education programme
- Deliver high quality, equitable specialist palliative care across Ealing and Hounslow
- Be a high-quality employer
- Build collaborative ways of working with partners, communities and LNWH Trust Charity to improve end-of-life care
Clinical lead for Meadow House, Treena Saini, said: “I am proud of our hardworking staff who continue to give the very best of themselves every day. By co-defining and coproducing models of care with our hospital and community colleagues, we will be able to continue to provide high-quality specialist care.”
LNWH NHS Trust chief executive, Pippa Nightingale, added: “I’m proud of the hospice team, who put engagement at the cornerstone of their strategy. In the face of rising demand and challenges, this strategy ensures our hospice can sustainably support the people of Ealing and Hounslow well into the future.”
Charity director, David Jenkins, commented: “It’s an exciting time for the hospice. They have forged strong integral partnerships across the community and these collaborations will help us to achieve our strategy goals.”
