In this episode it is my pleasure to talk with Wendy Mitchell, author of the best-selling books Somebody I Used to Know, What I wish people knew about dementia and the recently published One Last Thing; How to live with the end in mind.

We connected back in 2022 to explore Wendy’s Advance Care Planning and spoke about the work we did together in an earlier podcast. Wendy writes about her Advance Care Planning journey in her recent book and in discussion today we reflect on missed opportunities to plan ahead, the importance of language and of normalising these important conversations.  We also talk about Assisted Dying and what Wendy learned through writing her book.

Wendy is a true inspiration, teaching us all how to live with the end in mind.

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.
