Palliative and End of Life care experiences of people of African and Caribbean descent during COVID-19
Background
1 in 4 UK families miss out on end of life care. People from ethnic minorities face barriers when accessing end of life care services and are less likely to receive good care.
People of African and Caribbean descent have been more than twice as likely to die of COVID-19 as people from some other ethnic groups.
Aims and objectives
- Understand the priorities of people from African and Caribbean descent at end-of-life and barriers to good end of life and bereavement care.
- Give a voice to bereaved relatives, and listen to their views on the care their relatives received and how it could have been improved.
