Attitudes to death and dying will be the focus of a virtual event on 13 May, 1.00pm to 4.30pm, as public services workers, the community and voluntary sector, and the general public gather to share ideas about how we can be more open about the end of life and how that can help us all prepare.

The event will discuss how families, employers and communities as a whole can talk openly about death and dying and make a difference for the people we care about.
