'Let's all play part to make dying matter'

HOSPITAL TEAMS ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT DEATH

- By DEBORAH HALL

HOSPITAL teams across the Humber concerned with end-of-life care are encouraging people to get talking about death, dying and grief in whatever way, shape or form works for them, as part of Dying Matters Awareness Week.

The national campaign, which runs from Monday to Sunday, May 5 to 11, aims to open up conversations around death and dying.

This year’s theme focuses on the culture of dying matters.

End-of-life teams working across the NHS Humber Health Partnership are holding various events as part of the national campaign.
