Our certain death
• Morality, metaphysics and meaning of life• Rationality and technology• Death defying and denying society

Priorities at the end of lifeKey domains
- Pain and symptom control- Preparation for death- Achieving a sense of completion- Being involved in decision preferences- Being treated as a ‘whole person’

What should we aim to achieve?
Patient-prioritised domains

Palliative careWhat is important to patients and their
families with chronic end-stage medical disease or cancer?
440 patients (77% response) / 160 caregivers (91% response); 5 centres
To have trust and confidence in their doctors (55.8%)Not to be on life support with little hope of meaningful recovery
(55.7%)Honest communication about the disease from your doctor
(44.1%)Prepare for life’s end, tasks of completion – life review, resolving
conflicts, saying goodbye (43.9%)

- Despite widespread acknowledgement of the reasons that should generate involvement of specialist palliative care, general practitioners and cancer specialists used uncontrolled pain as the catalyst for referral in >70% of cases

What should we aim to achieve?
In objective or tangible ways, we need to work to optimise:
- physical function- emotional well being- spiritual / existential function- social function- financial status

Palliative Populations
• For day-to-day hands on caregivers, use of palliative care services led to decreased unmet emotional needs
– Overall, 32.0% of daily ‘hands on’ caregivers reported unmet emotional needs
– But, if they accessed SPCS, this figured dropped to 14.3% (p<0.05)

Palliative Populations
• For intermittent hands-on caregivers, use of palliative care services led to decreased need for physical support of the dying
– Overall, 25.0% of intermittent caregivers identified physical support as an unmet need
– But, with the use of SPCS, this dropped to 14.4% (p<0.01)
