P-137 How a nursing task force has focused on remodelling pressure ulcer management on a hospice in-patient unit

Abstract

documentation was developed, staff engagement activities were carried out and data was collected.Patient feedback was obtained and Goal Attainment Scores (GAS) used to measure achievement of personal goals. Results Our mid-point review demonstrated positive changes, including adaptions in the delivery of care to focus more on patient-centred rehabilitative goals across the multidisciplinary team. Data collection is continuing and the final evaluation will take place in July 2018. Conclusion Throughout the implementation of the project, challenges were identified in terms of the difficulty of initiating and maintaining the momentum of a cultural shift which has been previously evidenced. The final evaluation will therefore take account of both the objective outcomes and our reflections on how these challenges were addressed.
