New free Toolkit launched to support those delivering end-of-life care as COVID-19 continues to surge

Irish Hospice Foundation (IHF) has today launched a comprehensive Toolkit for Compassionate End-of-Life Care to enable our healthcare workers deliver compassionate care at end of life during this latest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Supporting people to die well in the circumstances now faced in health and residential care settings, is an enormous challenge. Infection control measures and strict visiting restrictions, although vital, mean the empathetic and high standards of end-of-life care that is the norm in these settings is being impacted.
