A good death and dying well is a human right. Few individuals, organisations or care systems would dispute that there is more to do to ensure more people live and die well, but it can be hard to know where to start, what to focus on and how to get the best from everyone who has a stake in this universal experience.

Is your team struggling to make sense of the rapidly changing context of end-of-life care and how best to make a real difference?

Is your organisation wanting to review its strategy for supporting people to live well in the last years of their life?

Are you wondering how to maximise your personal or professional impact in this area?

I bring a breadth of experience in care for people living with life threatening/life limiting conditions and have worked as a clinician, academic and leader in the hospice and palliative care sector for over 30 years.

A part-time role at St Christopher’s Hospice in London, sustained engagement in global development of palliative care and regular involvement in a variety of national projects offer a range of insights and knowledge that can often unlock challenges or conundrums seemingly impenetrable or overwhelming.

I will particularly enjoy working with you if you want to grapple with complexity in health, social care and broader systems and are committed to change despite the challenges
