The North Derbyshire hospice’s The Life and Death Podcast explores frank and honest conversations around death and what ‘dying well’ really means. Each episode welcomes both givers and receivers of end-of-life care, to discuss their unique relationships, hospice life, and how death affects the living. 

Over the next six weeks, the weekly episodes will bring together Ashgate’s senior physiotherapist, Stephen Rumford, and patients and professionals to discuss what death and dying means to them. 

The second series launches during Dying Matters Awareness Week (10 – 16 May), which is a national campaign encouraging people to talk more openly about death and plan for the end of life. 

From a musician and songwriter whose music and lyrics focuses on the different aspects of death, dying and bereavement to the challenges of working as a frontline worker on Ashgate’s Inpatient Unit throughout the pandemic – an array of stories will be shared throughout the new series from people who experience death and ‘dying well’ in different ways.
