Last Chapter - End of Life Doula & Support

08/08/2026

One of the most common misconceptions is that end of life doulas can, or wish to, replace nurses, doctors, or hospice teams.

In reality, end of life doulas complement formal services by offering non-medical support that is centred around the person’s wishes, values, and individual needs.
We recognise that every member of a persons’ care team has an important role. Our collaborative approach helps ensure people receive the support that’s right for them.
