The core care skills remain important, but the role operates within specialist palliative plans, closer symptom escalation and frequent support for families at end of life.
Only within the patient's wishes and hospice information-sharing arrangements. Clinical updates should come from the authorised professional.
The assistant can describe approved comfort measures and seek nursing help, but should not recommend clinical changes or interpret symptoms beyond their delegated competence.
The hospice should follow the patient's current choices, capacity and care arrangements, balancing privacy and safety through the authorised team rather than informal promises.
Roles should be coordinated through the designated hospice lead; volunteers can contribute within their remit but do not replace clinical delegation or employment supervision.
Respond sensitively without offering prognosis, establish what may be shared and refer the visitor to the nurse or clinician authorised to provide a clinical update.
Yes. State the rota, waking duties, breaks, staffing support and emergency contacts, including how overnight observations are handed to the incoming team.
Record the patient's words, observable presentation, care provided, response and whom you informed, avoiding diagnostic labels or rewritten clinical instructions.
