Dying Matters Week 2024: The way we talk about Dying Matters

This year, Hospice UK’s Dying Matters Week theme is The way we talk about Dying Matters

We have created a pack for organisations to use including example social media posts you can share throughout Dying Matters Week (6th-12th May). You can use these examples as they are or change them to better suit your organisation.

We have drafted some example tweets, LinkedIn posts, and internal newsletter content to:

• share how NACEL provides insight into communication with dying people and those important to them,

• encourage participation in the Staff Reported Measure, and

• raise awareness of the Quality Survey.

Hospice UK have various images and resources in English and Welsh to promote Dying Matters Week on their website.

Don't forget to include #TheWayWeTalkAboutDyingMatters and #NACEL2024 in your posts!
