Death and dying are unavoidable parts of life, and living as fully as possible until the end is something we all hold dear. It is essential to meet the needs of individuals at all stages of life who are facing dying, death, and bereavement, along with their families, caregivers, and communities, while considering their values, preferences, and desires.

Providing personalized care in the final year(s) or months of life leads to a more meaningful experience, centred on what matters most to the individual, and helps create more sustainable health and care services.
