From the very beginning, we’ve been working to improve end-of-life and bereavement care in all care settings in Ireland – hospitals, community and home – continually testing new approaches to deliver national programmes.
Through our Healthcare Hub, we are working collaboratively to strengthen and build capacity across the sector and support those who deliver care at end of life, wherever the place.
