NHS South West London has funded End of Life Doula UK to provide support to people at the end of their life and those important to them.
End of life doulas offer practical, emotional and if required, spiritual support to those living with a life-limiting illness, their families and others that are important to them. They work alongside an individual’s values and beliefs, and can open up conversations so death can be approached without fear or loneliness.
The service is delivered by End of Life Doula UK and forms part of work around end of life care. Support via this project is available to individuals and families who are:
- Living in Richmond on Thames or Kingston boroughs
- Contactable by phone or email and who wish to engage with end of life
- Individuals who have mental capacity to consent to receiving support
