Greener Palliative Care Award- pilot underway!

Dear all, 
 

We've selected 10 organisations to help us pilot the Greener Palliative Care Award (GPCA) scheme. We're delighted to say all 10 have accepted, and we are meeting with them over the next month. We had a total of 24 organisations apply, and only wish we could have accepted all. We're excited to see how things progress and will share with you as we go. Please watch out for updates as we will hold online events to bring you the latest news, and to support you wherever you are on your path to Greener Palliative Care. 
 

Ways to get involved

Assessment group- we have vacancies on our GPCA Assessment Group. Please see the end of this email for full details. If interested please contact us on pallcaresusnet@gmail.com. We welcome all levels of experience and all job roles. We will hold our first meeting in the last week of March. 
 

With best wishes to all,

Assessment Group details:
 

The Assessment Group is formed of Palliative Care Sustainability Network members from a range of professional backgrounds, including the Network co-leads.
This group reviews evidence submitted by teams/organisations applying for an award level, meeting online for 90 minute review panel sessions every quarter.
The group will provide feedback either via a meeting or in writing to let applying organisations know if they have been successful or where they might need to
provide further evidence to obtain an award level. Group members may also meet with applying organisations to help where they may have questions or need other
support.
Each quarterly review panel meeting will comprise three assessors, including at least one of the Network co-leads.
Assessors will declare any conflicts of interest at the start of each meeting, most obviously not assessing evidence submitted from teams/organisations they are
affiliated to.
Minutes will be taken and will be available on request. Information relating to identifiable organisations/individuals may need to be anonymised/removed prior to
sharing.
The estimated time commitment is 3 hours perquarter. There may also be opportunities to get involved in writing up theachievements of the GPCA scheme for publication.
