A new palliative care training DVD, produced by GRACE, has just been launched at a national conference in London. The documentary-style film Making Each Day Count, introduced and narrated by Esther Rantzen, was commissioned by St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice with sponsorship from Macmillan Cancer Support.
The film follows the stories of 3 families and their widely differing experiences as loved ones approach the end of their lives – and how health professionals respond to their emotional, physical and medical needs. Using first-hand testimony and stylised “dramatic reconstruction”, the DVD is intended as a teaching tool for health and social care professionals working in, or learning about, palliative care, across the .
The production has also been further supported by NHS Somerset and Yeovil District Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
