dc.descriptionMuch of the information here has been adapted from the booklet, When someone you care about is dying in hospital – What to expect. It contains information about the physical changes that happen as a person is dying. You can find it on our website www.hospicefoundation.ie. We have used the information here from what’s available from the Health Service Executive (HSE) and our Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme (HFH). We’ve also consulted with our Primary Palliative Care Steering Committee, the Irish College of General Practitioners, clinicians, Care Alliance Ireland, and the All-Ireland Institute of Hospice and Palliative Care Voices4Care group, to ensure all the information is accurate and reliable. If someone you know is living with a terminal illness, you may be concerned about many things, including COVID-19. If there’s anything worrying you, or the person you’re caring for, talk to a healthcare professional like your GP, Public Health Nurse or Community Social Worker. You might be concerned that now isn’t a good time to do this, however, services are still operating, and GPs can be contacted by phone. Tips on staying in contact with your GP and other community-based healthcare professionals are included in this booklet. This is followed by practical information about providing end-of-life care in your home. We also provide answers to some of the questions you might have about caring for someone at home who is nearing the end of life during COVID-19.en_US
