A Good Death
Compassionate communities
“It is neither cost effective nor desirable to see death as the province of clinical medicine. The new unit will implement the Charter for A Good Death, stress the need to ‘normalise’ death, build public health capacity and aim to create a compassionate community approach to end of life.”
The public’s generally expressed preference for being able to die at home is not met as often as it could be. This project focused on the establishment of a unit to pilot implementation of the A Good Death charter in one local area, by examining community development approaches, education and training needs, and compassionate human resource issues.
