Plan ahead

It is now clear that facing up to illness and approaching death is much better for us than trying to avoid its reality.

Talking about our worries is very helpful but, at least as helpful, is planning ahead and letting your family and friends know what practical things they can do. 

Our Mountbatten team can offer you support and advice on how to start the conversation about your future care.
