AIIHPC supported by the Health Service Executive (Republic of Ireland), Department of Health, Northern Ireland and Public Health Agency collaborated to produce this series of videos highlighting a wide range of palliative care personal experiences. The videos are a resource to promote wider public conversation and discussion around palliative care and to promote learning and education among health and social care professionals. They reflect a range of experiences, from those living with a condition requiring palliative care, families and health professionals. We are grateful to the participants who were so generous in sharing their stories which include experiences from children’s palliative care through to palliative care for adults.

These videos are available to download and use within education and training course (for advice on downloading individual videos contact info@aiihpc.org)
