HPAL features a ready populated clinical triage tool designed to address common clinical challenges in palliative care through a clinically designed search function. It’s service directory provides real-time information on available services in each Borough across North West London. It improves care at the point of contact through saving clinicians time by offering easy access to curated summaries of key symptoms. Its separate portal dedicated for family carers improves self-management for both patients and carers, and a portal for clinicians providing a fantastic resource for primary care, hospital and care home clinicians.
HPAL also provides summaries of national guidance tailored to the Integrated Care System (ICS) and local needs. Users can search for information specific to their boroughs. It helps the ICS meet its obligations and improve equality of access across the ICS.
Since its launch, over 500 users accessed the website within just three days, receiving excellent feedback for its ease of use. A huge thank you to Harlington Hospice for developing this invaluable resource for North West London.
Together, we are transforming Palliative and End of Life Care for our community.
