CCRI launches initiative with HammondCare to co-design an integrated model of palliative and dementia care
In February 2023, the CCRI, HammondCare and the Central Coast Local Health District initiated a co-design process across key stakeholders focusing on integrated models of care that improve care experiences, outcomes and effectiveness of services delivered with and for people living with dementia at the end-of-life. This co-design initiative started as a result of ongoing discussions about the need to significantly improve the end of life care experience for people living with dementia on the Central Coast, including consideration of the research findings from a 3-year project undertaken by the CCRI and CCLHD that identified the key attributes to such a model.
The partners have committed to undertake 4 facilitated half-day co-design workshops to develop a value case for an improved model of care for people living with dementia (and carers) at the end of life for testing out during a workshop with an international audience at the 3rd Asia Pacific Conference on integrated Care (APIC3) to be held at the Wesley Centre, Sydney, 11-13 November 2023.
