Lewisham bereavement project: death and the life that's left.
Coping with bereaved relatives is a problem, both emotional and practical, for nursing staff. At Lewisham Hospital a scheme was set up bringing in the existing volunteer system to support the bereaved. Here, Janet Keyte, sector administrator; Bette Meade, voluntary services organiser; and Philip Nye, senior nursing officer, give the history of the Lewisham Volunteer Bereavement Project.
