A Forum for the General Public: Dying to Know about Dying Matters?
Thursday 20th February 2025, 1pm - 4pm at Nelson Tasman Hospice
Talking about it more, worrying about it less. A workshop the general public can attend.
This forum is for the general public to attend and is not designed for Health Professionals.
Many people find it difficult to talk about dying, yet dying is an important stage of life and is inevitable.
We plan for the birth of a child, yet when it comes to the end of life, we don’t often want to think about it, or talk about it.
Having a plan outlines our care preferences for the future. Having an Advance Care Plan (ACP) that aligns with our beliefs and values, is a gift that we can give to our family / whānau.
Come along to our workshop and find out more about dying matters, how an ACP can benefit you and your family/whānau and what to expect at the end of life.
We will explore:
– Why is it hard to talk about death and dying?
– What to expect when someone is dying
– Supports available
– Advance care planning processes
This is a free workshop, however space is limited so registration is essential.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?
Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
