Many people want to die at home, yet in western countries most die in institutions like hospitals and nursing homes. The Last Aid project helps to educate the community about the basics of palliative Care and Care for dying people. These courses are delivered using materials developed by Last Aid International.
More than 10,000 people have already participated in Last Aid courses and more than 1,500 trainers have been trained across many European countries including Denmark, Switzerland, France, Germany, Slovenia, Lithuania, Ireland, Austria and Scotland, and around the world including Australia and Canada.
Village In The City founder Mark McKergow will be talking to Susan Speke and Siobhan Neylon from Highland Hospice in Inverness who offer Last Aid training and support in the UK (https://highlandhospice.org/what-we-do/education-learning-development/last-aid). We will be discussing how dealing with death can and should be part of a community’s response, why this is seen as such a difficult topic and how Last Aid’s ideas and resources can help anyone become better and more comfortable about working with both the dying and those around them.
You are invited to join the live podcast recording to join in the conversation, ask questions and share your own experiences and responses to the topic. The resulting audio will be released on our podcast platform (https://shows.acast.com/village-in-the-city) for international listening and sharing. You can subscribe to the podcast wherever you normally get your podcasts (Apple, Google, Amazon etc).
