EOLP Conference of Care 2022
We are excited to announce that we will be participating in this year’s annual EOLP conference taking place on Thursday 29th September 2022 at the Best Western Forest Hills Hotel, Cheshire.
This year’s theme will explore some of the paradoxes presented within the Lancet Commission report on the ‘Value of Death: bringing death back into life’ (pub. Jan 2022) while reflecting on current practice and approaches. The Value of Death: bringing death back into life, based on the recommendations of the Lancet Commission report, The Value of Death: bringing death back into life (.pdf) which sets out five principles of a realistic utopia, a new vision of how death and dying could be.
James (the founder of MyWishes) will be providing two workshops titled ‘How MyWishes is normalising end of life planning’. He will demonstrate how user-centred design principles and person-centred care can take place online. It will allow participants to reflect on the plans that they have made for themselves from both a physical and digital perspective. He will ask participants to then reflect on their own personal and professional practices and think about how they might evoke change within this space within their hospice, charity or place of work.
The workshop will conclude with the sharing of resources, information and best practice. The objective of the workshop is to empower participants to better support the communities they serve. The full conference programme can be found below
