  5. Recognition

  6. National data COPD causes more than 25,000 deaths a year in England and Wales 1 WHO data shows that death rates from diseases of the respiratory system on the UK are higher than the European Union average 1 1. Department of Health (2010)

  7. Mortality rates in City & Hackney Direct age standardized premature mortality rates (per 100,000 population) for COPD in adults <75 years in Hackney and the City compared to London (2005 – 2007) 1 1. NCHOD (2008)

  8. Hackney specific… COPD 1 31% of the adult population smoke Ethnically diverse – over 100 languages spoken Four times as likely to die from COPD before the age of 75 years 1. London Health Programmes (2011)

Palliative care needs of COPD patients Heavy burden of symptoms 2 Symptoms at least as severe as lung cancer 2,3 Impaired quality of life and emotional well being compared to lung cancer 4 Information needs also great - lack of awareness of progressive nature and that they may die of COPD - fear that both of these are true 2, 5 – 8 Carers’ needs 9 - 12

  17. Relationships

  18. Keys to success – nurse role Recognising that the clinic would not operate in isolation Small steering group of interested and enthusiastic professionals (recognition to Dr Jonathan Martin and Rebecca Jennings Therapy Manager) representing hospice and hospital specialist palliative care and local community respiratoryspecialist staff Buy-in from other key personnel e.g. championing the local need within the borough engagement from key general practitioners / CCG providing expert advice and specialist need championing within my own respiratory team (consultants) Wide-ranging consultation including patients – through 1:1 / breathe easy group A focus on transport/people unable to leave their homes and replicating the service at home

  19. Role of the Breathing Space Clinic

  20. Clinic function… the aims Primary Aims To develop a flexible hospice-based clinic for patients with advanced non-malignant respiratory disease Assessment, facilitation and treatment bringing together respiratory and palliative care expertise in order to maximise the quality of life for people with respiratory conditions who may be towards the end of life complement existing services and improve communication and joint working across pathway to improve access to specialist palliative care Intermediate Aim To develop a pilot clinic for patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease living in the London Borough of Hackney.

  21. Clinic function… example objectives Holistic Assessment Undertake a comprehensive multi-professional assessment of physical, psychosocial, spiritual wellbeing by COPD Nurse Consultant Palliative Care Consultant Palliative Care Physiotherapist

  22. Clinic function Information Provide access to information about both the underlying respiratory disease and the patient’s physical and emotional response to it, including issues of disease progression and prognosis Introduce and assist with advance care planning, including documentation of CPR status

  23. Clinic function Physical optimise symptom control through non-pharmacological and pharmacological means as necessary via access to relevant disciplines internally and externally to the hospice. complementary therapies. Psychosocial and spiritual introduce patients to specialist palliative care. referral to other services including social work, benefits, psychological therapies and chaplaincy.

  24. Clinic referral criteria (main) Disease severity patients will have very severe disease – FEV1 <30% predicted (NICE 2010) Necessity uncontrolled physical symptoms (related either directly to the COPD or to a co-morbidity) that are having a significant impact on their quality of life despite optimised medical management three or more admissions to hospital with respiratory failure and/or infective exacerbations of their COPD in the preceding 12 months (or has required intensive home management by the for the same) be felt to be dying within days to weeks House keeping medical management optimised know that they have a diagnosis of COPD know about, and agree to the referral

  25. Referral pathway All patients referred through the Homerton Hospital’s respiratory medicine MDT with palliative care representation six-weekly: respiratory consultant review this ensures optimal management of the patient’s COPD prior to referral to palliative care

  26. Metrics

  27. Re-evaluation

  28. Mary… Mary is a 78 year old lady referred to the Breathing Space Clinic by the local ACERS team optimised Medically for a number of years recent exacerbation requiring hospital admission discharged with home oxygen housebound and frightened to leave the house due to breathlessness severity of COPD: Very Severe FEV1 29 % predicted MRC Scale: 4 Main symptoms: breathlessness on exertion, anxiety, low mood, reduced ETT Mary’s was referred to the Breathing Space Clinic from the ACERS team

  29. Examples… of Mary’s scores HAD – no significant change in scores SKPP – QoL 5 Pre “felt anxious, low in mood” 3 Post (worse – but mismatch) “I'm looking forwards to all sorts of things: to being independent, meeting new people, having my own things around me” Mary’smain symptoms: breathlessness on exertion anxiety low mood & reduced ETT Refractory breathlessness – no change

  30. Pre and post clinic and intervention

  31. Conclusion… lessons learnt Excellent and positive feedback from patients referred to the clinic Current metrics do not support the perceived benefits that patients are expressing as in Mary’s case Encouraging patients to attend the local Breathe Easy group at the hospice as an exit strategy for patients to maintain links and make new friends Inter-organisation partnership working can and does work Clinical leadership across specialist palliative and respiratory medicine was key

  32. Winning Nurse of the Year For me… • Always remain patient focused • Ensure patient experience is captured • Fantastic opportunity personally • Recognition of hard work • Raise profile of respiratory nurses • Raise profile of consultant nurses • Great opportunities – like today for example!
