Reflect on your own experience of caring for older people receiving palliative care and/or care at the end of life (this may be during a PEP, paid employment or an experience you have had supporting a family member or friend). If you have not had any experience caring for older people receiving palliative care or at the end of life, you may like to reflect on Kaye's story below.
