🗞️ NGAW: The need to improve palliative and end of life care This recent report by Marie Curie contains some powerful - and stark - headlines around palliative and end of life care services, stressing the need for urgent action as the population ages to ensure that everyone affected by dying, death and bereavement receives the best possible care and support, whether now or in the future. The report highlights: • Patchy and inconsistent care for people approaching end of life • Health and care staff lack the time to provide care • Inadequate coordination and communication • Extra pressure on family carers 📲 Read this important and insightful report for more: https://buff.ly/3YMs8Ke #NationalGriefAwarenessWeek2024 #NGAW2024
