Give Your Thoughts on Future Service Options for Community-based Specialist Palliative Care

Hammersmith and Fulham residents are being asked to register their interest in attending a webinar where we will be looking at future potential service options for delivery of the new model of care for adult (18+) community-based specialist palliative care. 

The proposed new model of care has been co-designed over the last year by a working group of NW London residents, along with clinicians, NHS providers and charitable hospices with the ultimate goal of making sure there is improved access to high quality services. 

We are now ready to look at what that means in practice and during the webinar we will share the various potential service options that have been developed and ask for people’s feedback and answer questions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to put forward their own suggestions of potential options to be considered if they think we have missed or not thought of something. 

Details of the potential service options will be published before the webinars so that attendees have the chance to look at and consider them before the meeting commences. 

The Hammersmith and Fulham webinar will be held from 6 to 8pm on Monday 20 November 2023.

Please click here to book your space.

For Hammersmith and Fulham residents who are not able to attend the borough specific event, there are three North West London wide events that you can also attend.

  • 9.30 to 11.30 am Monday 27 November 2023 
  • 2 to 4 pm Thursday 30 November 2023 
  • 7 to 9 pm Thursday 30 November 2023

The Trauma-Informed Approach in Children & Young People Online Training: 07.02.24, 10:00-16:30

More than one in three children and young people are exposed to at least one potentially traumatic event by age 18. *

Trauma-informed approaches enable services to recognise the presence of trauma and acknowledge its widespread impact, whilst seeking to avoid re-traumatisation.

Attend Westminster Insight’s one-day interactive online workshop to learn how to implement a successful trauma-informed approach for children and young people to reduce the negative impact of childhood adversities and support child and adult mental health outcomes.

This practical course will cover what trauma-informed care looks like and why it’s important? Through interactive sessions understand how you can effectively respond to those suffering from trauma. Attend this course to learn how to identify the symptoms of trauma and provide appropriate support. Gain skills to communicate with young people who are affected by trauma and tailor interventions to meet their individual needs.

Our expert trainers, Dr Kirsty Hughes, Clinical Director for Beyond Psychology, and Hannah Waugh, will share best practice to help you to advance your approach to trauma-informed care. Take part in interactive sessions that will enable you to relate and resonate with people who have experienced trauma.
