Journal of Integrated Care

Co-editing a special edition

Anne Mills, Hospice Isle of Man CEO and Director of the Scholl Academic Centre; is delighted to be co-editing a special edition of the Journal of Integrated Care along with fellow guest editors Professor Anne Hendry and Professor Debbie Tolson from the University of the West of Scotland and Professor Aine Carroll from the University College Dublin.

This special edition will address the topic of integrated palliative and end of life care for people who have complex care needs associated with frailty or advanced dementia. As these topics are usually addressed separately, this special issue will help bring together a case for a more integrated, person-centred approach to caring for people living with or experiencing symptoms associated with dementia or frailty, and how to manage this at home, hospital or indeed a hospice setting.

Papers can be submitted from now until 31st December 2019, with the hope of this special edition presenting a blend of research evidence, international practitioner insights and global interdisciplinary perspectives on a number of fitting themes including:

· Measuring outcomes on quality of life
· Case studies of integrated models
· Person centres relational practice in end of life care
