Reflection
My patient died at home Peacefully with her pack of dogs and her daughter by her side The way she had wanted to. The Hospice at home team made it happen through talented design and planning And initiatives such as the Cariad training scheme where lay carers are taught to administer medication subcutaneously and appropriately helped enormously It was a multi disciplinary approach and as the newbie I was very humbled to be present. And when the daughter asked me what to do in those very last moments I said quietly " Just talk to her, and say what you want to" And as she did so with buckets of love , I stepped back quietly into the corner of the room
