What is an End of Life Coordinator
An End-of-Life Coordinator is a non-medical role that provides support, options and education assisting the dying and those around them to have their end of life unfold in alignment with their wishes, to preserve the quality of life, wellbeing and self-worth up to and beyond the end of life as we know it.
