To mark Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief awareness week 2013, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde worked together with local hospices to hold to information events in two hospitals. Resources providing information about death, dying and bereavement were made available, and a Before I Die was on display, offering people the opportunity to share one thing that they would like to do before they die.
The events were held in the foyers of the hospitals, next to the main entrance. Throughout both days there was a multi disciplinary staff team available to discuss different aspects of end of life care and offer support and signposting.
Both days' events are considered a huge success, and resulted in a total of over 200 conversations with passers by. The Before I Die wall was a great conversation opener and allowed the teams to “hook” people into a conversation.
A detailed report of these events is available here.
