This webinar addressed the provision of end-of-life and bereavement care for people experiencing homelessness, particularly their increased likelihood of encountering multiple, sudden and/or traumatic bereavements, the barriers they face to receiving equivalent levels of support, and how health and social care professionals can help to overcome the gap in quality of care. It also covered the needs of those who work in homeless support services and experience bereavement in the course of their work.
