The Caring View – The Social Care Podcast 8: Dignity in Dying

Start listening

In this one off special episode we meet Fran Hall from Dignity in Dying and Sarah Malik from Compassion in Dying. Death and Dying still come with stigma and taboo attached, our discussion looks at how we start to remove this and make dying a normal part of life and conversations, and how, ultimately, it will improve care over all. There are also a tonne of resources available in this episode description below.
