Our first ever animation video hits tv screens across Dorset next week. Privileged to work with @topcatgroup on this story - told through granddaughter's eyes - inspired by the experience many patients & families go through from diagnosis to end-of-life hospice care. Pls SHARE!

Talking about death isn't easy. That’s why during #DyingMattersWeek2023 we have committed to sharing how many patients have passed away in our stats. We want conversations about dying and end of life planning to no longer be a taboo, but seen as an open and honest conversation 🦋

Today is the start of @hospiceuk #HospiceCareWeek & is a chance for us to share why hospice care matters for every community. We believe that everyone, no matter who they are, where they are, or why they are ill, gets the quality end of life care they deserve #MondayMotivation
