Home  Keeping healthy, staying fit Your health Dying Matters
 Everyone - whatever their age or state of health - should talk about their wishes for their end of life with their friends, families and loved ones. The earlier we talk about it, the easier it is emotionally and practically for everyone.
Did you know?
- The majority of people (around 70%) would prefer to die at home, but around 60% of people die in hospital - in many cases, unnecessarily
- Whilst more than 70% of people report feeling confident about planning for their end of life, less than a third (29%) of people have actually discussed their wishes around dying
Food for thought - don't leave it too late to discuss:
- What type of care would you like towards the end of your life?
- Where would you like to die?
- Whether you would like to be resuscitated or not
- Funeral arrangements
- Care of dependents
- Have you written a will?
- How would you like to be remembered?
- What would you like people to know before you die?
- Saving other lives - have you considered organ donation?

Posters are also available.
