About this Event
Friends at the End are pleased to announce the rescheduling of our postponed conference from May, which was planned in conjunction with Good Death Week. We have now moved this conference to an online webinar which is free to attend. We will be looking at how we support individuals pastoral care needs alongside their medical needs at the end of life.
This event will look at the different types of care and support required by individuals and how we can help to influence policy and ultimately support people as best we can at the end of life.
Speakers will include:
- Rev Scott Mckenna
- George Beuken, Head of pastoral care, St Andrews Hospice.
- Lindsay van Dijk, NHS Humanist Chaplain
- Karen Hedge. National Director, Scottish CARE
- Henry Marsh, Neurosurgeon and author
There will be a panel discussion for the last 40 mins of the session, and questions will be taken for speakers throughout the event.
