Bereavement and Bereavement Care
Audrey Stephen, CSO (Chief Scientist Office) Research Training Fellow, is currently carrying out a PhD project exploring bereavement care provision for older people. During the project draft guidelines for healthcare staff to use when caring for bereaved older people have been developed.
Please click below to view the guideline:
Bereavement Care for Older People - Full Guideline

Consultation with healthcare staff on the draft guidelines is ongoing (February 2010). You are invited to provide your thoughts and opinions on the contents of the guidelines by clicking on the link below to a short questionnaire. After reading the documents, the questionnaire should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete.
