20 Advance care planning Time before last when I went the question was: where do you want to die? And that was one question that I had never thought about because what, there s a choice? ~Patient 5
21 Patient perspective of KSCp You don t feel like it s a cattle station, you don t feel rushed. They provide you with information. They give you a sense of normality, that what you re feeling is normal, without glossing over stuff. ~Patient 10
22 Carer perspective of KSCp I m grateful because we ve done a lot of things together that we wouldn t have been able to do because we d be sitting at home bloody fretting. We re going out to see the family and going out to go shopping and do stuff and things that we just weren t going to bother doing, because what was the point? ~Carer 1
23 Staff perspective of KSCp How do I know it s working? Because I m seeing that my patients are having a much better end of life. It s making my role as their consultant or their primary clinician much easier, because I can help more people. I think it s an innovative and fabulous idea which is actually translated into real clinical change. ~Stakeholder 2
