Out-of-hours community palliative care: a national survey of hospice providers.
Background: Community-based palliative out-of-hours services operate outside normal working hours. However, little is known about the provision and delivery of such care.
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe types of provision and delivery of out-of-hours palliative care services provided by UK hospices.
Methods: Survey questionnaires were emailed to 150 adult hospices in the UK. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS and qualitative data subjected to thematic analysis.
Findings: Responding hospices (n=57) provided the following types of support: telephone advice 72% (n=41); care at home 70% (n=40); and rapid response 35% (n=20). There were variations between services regarding referral mechanisms, availability and workforce, and integration with statutory services was limited.
Conclusion: Variation in the type of provision and delivery of out-of-hours palliative care services alongside limited integration with statutory care have contributed to inequity of access to community-based palliative care, and potentially suboptimal patient and informal caregiver outcomes.
