Death and Dying Well in North Tyneside Q & A
Support and Information to help you care for someone at the end of their life

North Tyneside Carers’ Centre has teamed up with Palliative Care Specialist, GP Dr Kathryn Hall, and the Sage Foundation to record a video in which Dr Hall answers questions from carers about end-of-life care in our region.
