Recent analysis shows that by 2040, demand for palliative care in England in Wales is expected to rise by over 40%.

What impact will these trends have on care provision in different health and social care settings across Wales? What impact has the COVID pandemic had on people’s experiences of dying at home and how has the 12 last months accelerated the need to respond to these growing demands?

Please join our panel of experts to get an overview of projection and place of death analysis carried out by Kings College London and how the latest Marie Curie Better End of Life Programme has highlighted the impact on people dying at home in the last 12 months.  Hear from our experts in palliative and end of life care in Wales who are preparing to meet these challenges in the future and bring your expertise and experiences to inform this important discussion.

The event will be chaired by Rhun ap Iorwerth MS and our panel of experts are:
Dr Anna Bone, Research Associate, The Better End of Life Programme, Kings College London

Dr Idris Baker, National Clinical Lead for End of Life Care in Wales

Dr Cliff Jones, GP, and End of Life Care Lead for the Royal College of GPs in Wales

To register your interest please contact Bethan.Edwards(at)mariecurie.org.uk and hold the date! 

Joining instructions and an event briefing highlighting the research and framing the discussion will be circulated a week before the event. 

This event forms part of a series of third sector events being run throughout the summer and autumn, including the Hospices UK Seamless and Sustainable with a view to collaborating and collectively shaping the end of life care policy landscape in Wales.
