LOROS Lecture: Inequities at the end of life

LOROS Lecture: Inequities at the end of life

Join us at the Centre for Excellence LOROS Hospice LE3 9QE for an insightful discussion on inequities at the end of life.

The Lancet Commission on the Value of Death (2022) examined contemporary death, dying and grieving from a global perspective. It took a complex systems approach to death, dying, caregiving, and grieving, recognising the wider determinants and their intersectional nature. This talk will explore the implications of this Commission for palliative care.
