CARE AND CONTROL

Preserving dignity at end of life

With Dr Deidre Morgan

DEATH is something we are all touched by at some point in our lives. What is it like to work with people who are dying and their families and carers? How can we better preserve the dignity of people at end of life?

Hear from Dr Deidre Morgan, researcher from the Research Centre for Palliative Care, Death and Dying (RePaDD), who shares some of her observations throughout her career so far in working with people who are dying.

Deidre explores what carers can do to minimise discomfort and empower their clients and how we, as a society, can get better about talking about death and dying.
