At this time many staff will be working outside their specific areas of training and expertise and are more likely to be working with people either with pre-existing palliative care needs or with end of life care needs because of Coronavirus (COVID-19).The resources in this section are intended to enable staff working across all health and social care settings to provide the best possible support to people at the end of life.

Death and bereavement

Resources to support health and social care practitioners with care and communication at the time of and after a death. Some of the items listed were launched pre COVID-19; however, many of the points will still be very relevant for practitioners in the current situation
