Medical care, whether provided by hospices, hospitals or primary care comprises only one component of broad support a dying person and their family and friends need. Examples of empowered communities providing much of this social and supportive care exist in some economically poorer countries and now in the UK. This doctoral study is evaluating one such initiative at St Joseph’s Hospice in London.
Libby has recently published two papers to help build up the evidence base.
