Article: No one should die alone: volunteer support for patients dying in hospital
Demand for palliative care is increasing as the population ages, with half of people dying in hospital. This article describes how one trust is using end-of-life volunteers, a role developed in partnership with the charity sector, to help ward staff provide high quality care. The model has improved support and care for patients in the last days and hours of their life, especially those who would otherwise be along, and is now being adopted by other hospitals.
