Liverpool Care Pathway - The Bee Wee Consultation Doth something wicked this way come in garb of Angel drest...? The Bee Wee camp have plans afoot. I’ve actually got the agenda here. What would you like this to be called? I mean it’s not a colouring competition, you know, for six-year-olds. This is a professional, er you know, em standard we are trying to implement. You know, why on earth are they going to be asking a bunch of people what would you like this to be called? They’re spending half an hour trying to discuss what the title’s going to be called. For heavens sake, people have got better things to do with their time than come up with a title for this. Surely someone of Bee Wee’s standing should have something that she actually knows what she’s going to call it and have the courage of her convictions of being qualified in end of life care to actually come forward and say this, you know, that she’s looked at what the Liverpool Care Plan, the Review panel said in the summertime and she’s come up with some cogent arguments for what needs to be changed and she’s going to make damn sure those things are implemented; not actually involve a bunch of doctors who are going to sit there discussing like a bunch of fishwives what should and what shouldnt be put into it. - Denise Charlesworth-Smith There’s more than just rotten fish causing a stink. The Nudge Team are well acquainted with why it isnt always appropriate to call a spade a shovel. Thats why the showers were called the showers. Nudge, nudge, say no more when its a wink. It does matter what this Bee Wee protocol is going to be called. Theyre casting the nets broader to trawl them in for EoLC. We have advanced a long way from the days of the Barton Method and the Gosport Care Pathway. Dr. Jane Bartons skills were limited to looking at a patient and determining that they are dying; now, with GSF, the SPICT and other modern diagnostic tools, they can actually determine the final year of life. This is excellent news and will go far toward securing the NHS now and for future generations. By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. By GSF and SPICT I scry And know who lives and who may die! - Apologies to Will Shakespeare. The 1% will be selected and added to the Death Lists. They will not be called that. This will not be called a palliative care list. In that final year, the appropriate grooming will proceed to downsize care expectations via a PACA, My Wishes or last wishes! The communication lacking in the discredited LCP will be set in place at that initial stage. A whole year to achieve much and in which much may be achieved. Those emergency admissions will be cut substantially. Readers of these pages will already be well aware that it does matter what the Death Lists are called. If Will will permit us once more,- a rose by any other name will smell as sweet, but it wont sound as sweet. The grooming is all important. The EoLC nurse using his able grooming skills to discuss how to break the sorry news to their children would certainly have succeeded with Kathleen Vines granddaughters if the dear lady in question had not ruined it all and woken up!
