Dying Matters Awareness Week - Community Support

Dying Matters Awareness Week 2022 is our chance to get our community, patients and staff talking about dying and grief. We want everyone to be #InAGoodPlace when they die, whatever that means for them. Unfortunately some people are dying without the support they need, and we know that it's by talking and sharing stories that we can remove the taboo and stigma around these topics.

This week is our chance to get talking, share stories and to call for end of life for all. The Palliative Care Team at UHNM will be promoting ways in which we can talk to our patients, colleagues about how we can support them with these conversations. This is the second out of six podcasts, highlighting and talking about different topics around death and dying, along with features from other members of UHNM and how they can support you.

This episode highlights how palliative care and end of life teams across the community work together to help support patients and their relatives.
