Experts have said that in order to achieve good death for all, society's attitude towards dying, death and bereavement needs to change.

By 2030 the annual number of deaths around the world is expected to rise from 58 million to 74 million, but too many people still die alone, in pain, without dignity, or feeling alienated.




The articles aim to remedy this by exploring how lessons learnt from end of life care for cancer patients can be adapted for those dying from chronic conditions like heart failure and dementia.

In the first article, Scott Murray and Kirsty Boyd said that the ability to make an accurate and timely diagnosis of dying is "a core clinical skill that could be done better in all care settings."

Professor John Ellershaw and colleagues who argue that to achieve a good death for all "we need a fundamental shift of emphasis" have supported the need for mandatory training.

They said "we must strive to ensure that a good death is the expectation rather than the exception in all settings."

In another article about having the difficult conversations about the end of life, GP Stephen Barclay and oncologist Jane Maher believe that clinicians need to create repeated opportunities for patients to talk about their future and end of life care, while respecting the wishes of those who do not want to discuss such matters.
