Research summary
This project aims to co-produce a tool to support hospices to respond to the views and experiences of people with life-limiting
conditions who communicate non-verbally. To do this, the project will adapt an existing tool, The Day-Doc, previously co-produced to
help day-services include people with profound learning disabilities in support and decision-making. The adaption of The Day-Doc will
involve hospice health and social care staff, family members, and adults with life-limiting conditions, as well as hospice organisations
across the north of England. The project will result in a tool hospices can implement to better include this group in planning, delivering
and evaluating their care and support. It will conclude with the co-development of funding applications to develop free, online training
around using the tool and an NIHR bid to further develop and evaluate the tool.REC name
