Why Dying Matters: Putting Planning, Preparation and Patient

Why Dying Matters: Putting Planning, Preparation and Patient Autonomy First


ellenor.
As one of our team of four doctors –based across the charity’s Northfleet-based inpatient and outpatient units, as well as within the community –Dr Majeed’s role is more than a clinical one. In line with our ethos of ‘holistic care’, which pledges to treat the
patient and their family, rather than the illness alone, Dr Majeed’s chief responsibility is to understand the individual needs of the patient.
“We look at their wishes; what they want to do in the last few days and weeks and months of their life,” Dr Majeed says. “Spending more time with the patient is something we do. We try to understand their social, psychological, financial, and emotional issues, as well as their spiritual and religious needs. Everything is looked at on both a holistic and a microscopic level. That’s what makes a difference.”
