Dying at the margins: The inequalities of access to end-of-life care

Thu 17 October 2024

Intellectual Forum, Jesus College

Death is a universal experience; how we die is not.

Despite advancements in medical care, significant disparities remain in the accessibility and quality of end-of-life care based on socioeconomic status, geographic location, ethnicity, and other social determinants. This panel will explore these inequalities and the diverse factors that influence how individuals experience their final days.

Drawing on insights from leading experts in palliative care, social research, and end-of-life studies, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized communities and the steps needed to ensure equitable end-of-life care for all.

After the conclusion of the panel event, Dr Richards, the curator of 'The Cost of Dying' display, will give a short introduction to mark its opening. The IF would then be delighted to welcome you to a drinks reception from 7.00pm - 8.00pm to view the display in West Court.
