End-of-life care planning and people with learning disabilities (PART 1)

Summary

This is part 1 of a series of blogs on end of life care planning and people with learning disabilities.

This is a tricky subject as there seems to be confusion on the language. What's the difference between an end of life plan and a funeral plan? Should these plans be for young and old - well and unwell? What does the CQC say?

This blog, by Irene Tuffrey-Wijne, Professor of Intellectual Disability and Palliative Care at St Georges NHS Foundation Trust, should give you some of these answers.
