New book launched to guide bereaved families

WHAT do I do if someone close to me dies?

Answers to this question are what many people search for at the most difficult of times.

'Vital for families': Gary Fox, end-of-life project manager for Care Plus Group, and Lisa Revell, strategic lead for palliative and end-of-life care, with the new booklet.

And help is now available in the style of a 32-page booklet launched to guide bereaved families.

'When Someone Dies' booklet to be launched

A new booklet providing advice and support about what to do when someone dies is being launched at the end of the month.

The booklet brings together information on all the issues that may need consideration when a loved one dies from practical details like registering the death, local funeral directors and informing government agencies to how to contact support groups and where to go for advice.

Unique health experts offer multiple support

PATIENTS can now receive multiple care from a single individual thanks to new roles within the Care Plus Group.

Twelve unique health professionals have completed a two-year foundation degree course at the Grimsby Institute to become assistant practitioners.

This new role will provide a more joined up, multi disciplinary care to those who need it as it combines the skills, knowledge and competencies of three areas of work. These include health, social care and therapy skills.
