From 2nd - 6th May, Powys Teaching Health Board, PAVO, Bracken Trust and Improving Cancer Journey Team in Powys are supporting #dmaw2022 as a partnership in Powys.

There will be a mixture of online social media promotion, face to face exhibition and videos.

We will start the week promoting a video of a relatives story and experience of end of life care in Powys via PAVO and we will have themes each day.

We will be promoting:

• bereavement support via PAVO;
• promoting DMAW webinars;
• by appointment F2F signposting sessions at Bracken Trust Cancer Support Centre;
• Promoting the importance of Advance and Future Care Planning utilising the Powys Teaching Health Board ACP documentation;
• information guidance to support honest conversations about death, dying, and who would speak for you if you were not able;
• and finally a newly launched video on the 6th highlighting carers story of end of life care with thanks from CREDU.
