*LATEST* New podcast: The Internet and End of Life
Following publication of our very timely report commissioned from Demos, we hear from Ciaran Cummings (Demos) and our own Maggie Doherty on what we’ve learnt from the data. Martin Symons from St Michael’s Hospice Hastings on how his team is using tech to bring the hospice’s services to a wider virtual community. And finally, a personal account from someone who found herself in need of answers in the middle of the night and turned to an online forum when her brother was hospitalised with sepsis following chemotherapy. Listen to episode 24 of the podcast here.
In conversation with actor Greg Wise, Dr Kathryn Mannix, and broadcaster Shelagh Fogarty
