Initiating Prognostic Talk During Hospice Multidisciplinary Team Meetings: A Conversation Analytic Study.

Guidelines recommend that patients' prognoses should be discussed by the palliative care multidisciplinary team. However, there is a lack of evidence on how multidisciplinary teams carry out prognostic discussions, and especially how prognostic talk is initiated during team meetings. This study explored how prognostic talk is initiated and responded to during meetings of a hospice multidisciplinary team.

Young people returning to alcohol and other drug services as incremental treatment.

Young people who attend intensive alcohol and other drug (AoD) treatment commonly do so more than once. This paper aims to understand precipitators, enablers and barriers to young people's re-engagement in programs. Data come from a longitudinal qualitative study involving three waves of interviews with Australian young people recruited while attending intensive AoD programs (n = 38 at wave 1).

The All Together Group: Co-Designing a Toolkit of Approaches and Resources for End-of-Life Care Planning With People With Intellectual Disabilities in Social Care Settings.

Introduction: Support staff within social care settings have expressed a need for resources to facilitate end-of-life care planning with people with intellectual disabilities. This study aimed to co-design a preliminary toolkit of end-of-life care planning approaches and resources that can be implemented in adult social care services for people with intellectual disabilities.

Methods: An adapted Experience-Based Co-Design process was applied to develop a toolkit for end-of-life care planning with people with intellectual disabilities.

Prognostication As an Interactionally Delicate Matter: A Conversation Analytic Study of Hospice Multidisciplinary Team Meetings.

Prognostication has been found to be a delicate matter in interactions between palliative care professionals and patients. Studies have investigated how these discussions are managed and how speakers orient to their delicate nature. However, the degree to which prognostication is a delicate matter in discussions between palliative care professionals themselves has yet to be investigated.

What are we planning, exactly? The perspectives of people with intellectual disabilities, their carers and professionals on end-of-life care planning: A focus group study.

Aim: To explore the perspectives of people with intellectual disabilities, families, health and social care professionals and policy makers on end-of-life care planning within intellectual disability services.
