Dying Well: Planning for End of Life Care

Dying Well Hosts Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Advance Care Plan project team

We’re delighted to announce this very special event in the Dying Well series, as we will be joined by members of the ACP (Advance Care Plan) project team from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Foundation Trust. During this session, the team will present their project, which seeks to identify ways to make planning for end of life care fairer and more accessible to London’s rich diversity of people in the future.

Participants will be invited to share their experiences and expectations of end of life care and explore what advance preparations could improve the situation.

All interested persons welcome especially those from minority groups.  Confidentiality will be observed.

About this event

Dying Well is open to anyone interested in exploring more about what a good death might be for themselves and looking at what preparations might be helpful to have a ‘good death’.

What can I expect?

• A short 20 minute presentation identifying ways to make planning for end of life care fairer and more accessible.
• Followed by an open discussion and sharing of personal experiences, preparations, and sources of support.
• Light refreshments provided
