At Least Some People Can See Their Familly Near The End

[ukanonymous]

In such a horrible time its nice that this one person is able to spend his last time with his familly I know most people with no significance in life must face the end alone these days. So sad https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/02/01/captain-sir-tom-moore-surrounded-family-hospital/?utm_content=telegraph&;utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1612213604

hmmm not completely true

'2.2 Exceptional circumstances such as end of life
Key message
Visits in exceptional circumstances such as end of life should always be supported and enabled. Families and residents should be supported to plan end of life visiting more deliberately, with the assumption that visiting will be enabled to happen not just towards the very end of life.

Visits of this nature should be tested using supplied lateral flow devices (LFD). For information on this please see the Care home LFD testing of visitors guidance."

Strange my uncle died alone unable to see his familly 2 weeks until he died. That was early December. I didnt know him very well but my cousins were very upset.

I think ukanon it depends on the individual hospital. Our friends wife was allowed to come to the hospital whilst a diff friend could not see his mum.

I'm relieved to hear that there is more than 'one nice person able to spend his last time with his family'.
