Hello everyone,
Sue Ryder are looking for people to join an online discussion group to share their thoughts on a new approach to end-of-life care that we are developing. Many people wish to spend their final days at home, surrounded by loved ones and familiar comforts. Yet nearly half of all deaths still occur in hospitals, often following emergency admissions in the last year of life.
Sue Ryder is developing a new care model called “Alongside Suites” that would provide specialised palliative care within hospital grounds. This approach aims to offer more compassionate, personalised care while reducing time spent in traditional hospital settings.
That’s where you come in. Have you had experience of palliative and end-of-life care recently? If so, your perspective will help ensure this new approach truly meets the needs of patients and families. Your experiences and insights are important to us.
This will be a relaxed, informal discussion where you can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. Your input will help impact how this care is designed.
We are holding two sessions so that participants can join at a time that is most convenient for them. The dates are:
- Wednesday, 4 June: 2.30 – 4pm
- Thursday, 12 June: 1 – 2.30pm
To join us, please register for one of the two discussion groups on our website:
With gratitude,
Sue Ryder Team
