As part of the Derbyshire Alliance for End of Life Care, we created a short film at the University of Derby to launch Dying Matters in Derbyshire, which we wanted to share based on experiences how to create conversation opportunities around preferences and wishes.

We cannot second guess what is important to someone else. We need to provide open and honest opportunities, to be able to make a difference at life’s endings.

Exploration of the future through talking, listening, capturing wishes, practical needs and the sharing of memories are all so important and it can be the little things that count.
