In this episode it is my pleasure and honour to talk with Jo Armstrong. Jo is a physiotherapist with an interest in rehabilitation and spinal injury. Jo cared for her husband Barry following the  sudden diagnosis of a rapidly deteriorating brain tumour supporting him in his wish to die at home. 

 

We talk about the care needed to look after Barry, specifically Fast Track Continuing Health Care. Issues around assessment, responsiveness and flexibility are covered with the acknowledgement that without the correct care in place advance planning wishes cannot be met.

If you are a team looking to provide better end of life care, or set up a one off or complete education programme in end of life care head to www.speakformelpa.co.uk where I provide details on how I can help you. You will also find information about my Lasting Power of Attorney consultancy and the talks I offer for organisations.
