Events in Wales

Dying Matters Awareness Week got off to an early start in Wales with a feature on the Radio Wales Breakfast Show on Bank Holiday Monday.

The presenter, Dot Davies, interviewed a bereaved carer, and Victoria Wheatley, a palliative care doctor working in Hywel Dda UHB, on the theme of ‘How we talk about Dying Matters’. 

The fantastic team at Paul Sartori Hospice at Home in Pembrokeshire were inspired by Siwan Seaman’s Escape Room at Gregynog last year, and devised their own Holistic Hospice Escape Room to mark Dying Matters Week. 

You’ll all be pleased to know that the Pembrokeshire Palliative Care Team did manage to solve the puzzles and get themselves out of the room in good time!
