End of life: what to expect and how to prepare
This webinar discusses what happens when treatment for advanced prostate cancer stops working and what the next steps might look like. It also explains what end of life care is and how advance care planning can help ensure a patient’s wishes are respected.
It features insights from a Prostate Cancer UK Specialist Nurse, the Services and Clinical Lead from Compassion in Dying, and a patient advocate sharing their husband’s story.
We ended the webinar with a Q&A session.
