Thank you for joining us today Jan, it’s great to have you here. Welcome to our Online Community. 

I thought we’d start by asking you what your role on the Support Line involves?

As an Information and Support Nurse I handle calls from people affected by terminal illness. I provide a safe space for the caller to share their story and feel really listened to. I share information and ensure important conversations are heard by the right healthcare professionals and signpost accordingly. This can include practical and clinical information and support on all aspects of end of life. 

In addition, healthcare professionals are also most welcome to call to access information.
