In episode five I talk with Jim about what he learned from working in a hospice and how he walks two roads between life saving active interventions and supporting people at the end of life. Jim talks about what can happen when Advance Care Planning is not in place, describing some of the calls he has attended to demonstrate the reality. We know that many people express a wish to be in their own home at the end of life, yet often the planning to facilitate this is missing; Jim describes what can happen without these important plans in place.

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.
