Palliative progression and funding
Our whitepaper delves into the nuanced progression of palliative care and the critical role of funding in its efficacy. We examine how evolving patient needs necessitate adaptable care strategies, emphasising the importance of holistic support and patient-centred approaches. By exploring funding challenges and innovative financial models, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of sustainable palliative care initiatives. This paper advocates for investment in comprehensive palliative care frameworks that prioritise dignity, comfort, and quality of life for patients and their families, ultimately shaping a more compassionate healthcare landscape.
Diane WIlliams , Head of Quality & Standards
I have worked with Home Instead since July 2016 as a member of the Quality Team, taking the role of Head of Quality & Standards in 2020.
Before joining Home Instead, I built a comprehensive career in the social care sector, beginning in 1991 as a frontline care worker and advancing to senior leadership roles across both private and voluntary sector businesses.
Throughout my career, I have supported diverse care groups in a variety of settings, including community, residential, nursing, and secure environments. My experience spans working with older adults, including those living with dementia; individuals with physical disabilities and complex, long-term health needs; people with learning disabilities, including autism; individuals with enduring mental health challenges; individuals with current or past substance use and those with forensic backgrounds.
In 2002, I qualified as a social worker and have since maintained my professional registration with Social Work England.
