Quotes from previous meetings
These recourses are fantastic! Thank-you for making them free! Our Palliative Team love them too and feel that they will be very helpful for our patients to be fully involved in their treatment and plans for their funeral
Such an important point to also be able to focus on how to live a gloriously ordinary (but fantastic!) life, not just about planning for the inevitable!
A great example of how to use a naturally occurring situation to talk and ask what the person might want for themselves, for their funeral.
A really informative and thought provoking day. Working in an acute hospital, these resources are truly invaluable.
