Thank you to all speakers and participants who joined us at #IHFForum2024 on Tuesday. It was a day filled with inspiring stories and presentations emphasising the importance of compassionate community responses to end-of-life and bereavement care. 🌻

The significant rise in state payment supports for funeral costs highlights the financial pressures people face following a bereavement. We highlighted these and other costs in our report The Real Financial Impact of Bereavement (see thread). thejournal.ie/state-paid-out…

We welcome the National End of Life Survey and particularly the finding that more support is required for talking with and supporting children when a loved one has died. We look forward to working with HSE & others to improve this. Irish Hospice Foundation 👉yourexperience.ie

This important survey reports on over 4,500 bereaved people’s experiences of their loved one’s end-of-life care, and the bereavement support that they received. So much to learn from, be proud of and improve upon. Department of Health @DonnellyStephen Mary Butler TD

Thanks so much for joining the webinar, hope you found it informative. There is a lot to unpick about healthcare staff experiences during COVID-19, we must learn and respond.
