Exploring death and dying in the UK: public perspectives (EDDUK).
04 November 2019
The study will explore public perspectives and experiences of death and dying in different care settings and conditions within the UK, and establish concerns and priorities for end of life care.
we want to find out:
• if people think that death and dying are ‘taboo’ subjects
• what concerns people most about the prospect of dying
• where people would like to be cared for, and where they would prefer to die
• what people think about balancing quality of life and length of life
