Biography
I am an Associate Clinical Nurse Specialist, working with Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice. I have always been interested in Kerala's palliative care services and how they support people across a wide geographical area, sometimes with limited resources and staffing. I am keen to learn more about how they engage local communities, particularly volunteers, to support people with life-limiting conditions.
In the UK, Marie Curie states that 75% of the week is 'out of hours'; in addition to this, specialist palliative care services can vary depending on postcode. I would like to learn from communities in Kerala to see how the UK could improve cultural understanding of death and dying and volunteer engagement to support people living at home with a life-limiting condition.
