University of East Anglia researchers have created a survey exploring our knowledge of processes and support available when a loved one passes away. This is known as Death Literacy. By using people’s experiences and understanding, they hope to help improve support available for those who live with a life-threatening or life-limiting illness.
The survey provides you with a personalised score, rating your knowledge around end-of-life care and support along with links to further information. It also increases understanding of ageing, grief and bereavement, and long-term care support available in the community.
You can find the link to the survey here.
The results will be used to target community engagement activities and scarce resources in specific knowledge areas. The feedback will be shared with the health and care sector and the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research which commissioned the project.
