End of life. Death. Dying. Don't think that means this episode is going to be depressing. I saw Claire Henry MBE speak at an event recently and was struck at how engaging and occasionally humorous she made the topic.
Claire has a nursing background, is the Director of Improvement and Transformation at Hospice UK and has worked in palliative and end of life care for many years.
In this episode we discuss why it's important to have conversations about death while we are still healthy and how we only get one chance to get end of life care right.
