The Challenge of Life

Product Information

As noted above, there has been a significant shift in the proportion of people dying at home, with a third more people dying at home than pre-pandemic. This has resulted in increased need for care in the community, with services such as community nursing reporting increases in demand. Fewer people have died within hospices, but hospices have been providing more care in people’s homes, and have adapted how they deliver services, with more care being provided remotely, for example. Relatively little is known currently about the quality of care received at home during the pandemic.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed by frightening headlines or consumed by the crisis you’re facing. But whatever your circumstances, it doesn’t have to define you as a person. You are not your crisis. By pursuing activities that bring purpose and meaning to your life, you can keep your problems in perspective, prevent them from overwhelming you, and maintain your identity. Funding and commissioning end of life care is complex. There is variation across the country in the balance of general versus specialist services, and between NHS and voluntary sector provision. With the enactment of the Health and Care Bill, the commissioning of end of life care in England will transfer from clinical commissioning groups to integrated care systems.
