VENUE
Mary Ward House, London WCIH 9SN

BACKGROUND
As older people approach the end of their lives, much of their care and support is provided within the community and the domestic home. The latter is shaped fundamentally by their interpersonal relationships –with family (however constituted), friends and professional carers. The purpose of this seminar is to explore current theoretical ideas and empirical data regarding the nature of these various relationships, and to consider their relevance to the provision of end of life care for older adults.
