Description of Project:

Aim; Methods; Expected Outcomes

(up to 300 words)

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate a partnership model of Hospice Enabled Dementia Care between a specialist palliative care hospice provider and a Health and Social Care Trust in Northern Ireland.

Methods: A formative evaluation involving four phases. Phase 1 involved the analysis of anonymised data relating to the number and nature of referrals, demographics of people referred and on-going service activity data. In Phase 2 semi-structured interviews have taken place with twelve active family carers of a relative with Dementia who has been referred to the Hospice Enabled Dementia Partnership Project. In Phase 3 six focus groups have taken place with health and social care professionals (n=31). Phase 4 has involved telephone interviews with five policy makers and service commissioners. Qualitative data were subjected to thematic analysis and quantitative data yielded descriptive statistics as frequencies and percentages.

Expected outcomes: Family member’s experiences of this model of care and the impact on their lives and that of their relative with dementia. Health and social care professionals’ perceptions of this model of care and its further dissemination and development. Policy Makers’ perceptions of the strategic direction of this example of good practice.
