Cambridge university hospitals NHS trust hosted a Death Cafe by the DeathCafeCambridge movement. It was brought about by Dying Matters week in the UK in May and whilst the momentum of Death Cafe is picking up speed, the host felt the need to bring these conversations to the staff in the acute teaching hospital in Cambridge, UK. It was a first for the hospital and plans are in place to make Death Cafe CUH a regular event to give staff a safe place to talk about issues around death and dying. I am pleased that it was welcomed and reviewed so positively. Patients and visitors were also welcome to attend.
