In our latest, and final, episode of Series 2 of This Is Awkward, we are speaking with Dr Kath Fielder about something rarely talked about, yet it’s something that all humans have in common. It’s death.

She is also part of the advisory team for Everydoctor; a campaigning organisation that fights for the NHS, staff and patients.
