Compassion in Dying welcomes the aims of the Access to Palliative Care Bill, which contains a number of provisions that would help patients who are already in receipt of palliative care or who are nearing the end of life.
Andrew George’s photographs and interviews show how important it is to think about the person at the end of life, rather than just the patient.
One of the key messages that has come out for us from our pilot project has been around language. Words that we use everyday like end of life and palliative care, can be very scary for many of the older people we come in contact with or are words that are not fully understood or mean something quite different.
