The BMJ's video: Explaining how to live and die well to healthy people

To support people to boldly face the final frontier, a group of family doctors from the European Association of Palliative Care has produced a video entitled “Living and dying well”. It is a sequel to a BMJ analysis and a brief video for health professionals explaining the rationale for early palliative care for people with all progressive illnesses. This new four minute video seeks to explain to individuals and community groups what the last phase of life is likely to look like for people with different illnesses, and thus how to plan to make the best of it. Feel free to share this with patients, family, and friends. It is being produced in different languages to help us all navigate our passage to the final frontier as safely as possible.
