One of our most listened to episodes of Public Health Disrupted features @libby_sallnow talking about dignity, decency and dying: soundcloud.com/uclsound/seas…
Death and dying affect us all—yet we rarely talk about them. Dr @libby_sallnow (@MCPCRD, @UCLPsychiatry) urges us to reframe end-of-life care as a public health issue, not just a medical one.
