Walking the Walk: support for carers with a loved one at the end of life

When a carer’s loved one is at the end of life, the carer’s needs can often be overlooked despite this being a distressing time. Walking the Walk is an initiative first developed to learn how to better meet the needs of carers in the acute hospital setting; this article describes a pilot adapting it for use in care homes, GP practices and community hospitals. The project has received overwhelmingly positive evaluation responses, with participants reporting a renewed motivation to better support and cater to the needs of carers.
