"Our digital lives have become important.

When we die, our digital legacy can become very important for loved ones.

Making plans for your digital life is altruistic and it does not need to be complex."

Flashback from yesterday's Dying Matters Awareness Week Conference (by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and Nottingham Hospitals Charity).

It was a wonderful event and one that enhanced our own learning.

In our session's Q&A it was great to learn that digital legacy conversations are now taking place within Nottingham care settings. We hope to hear similar feedback from attendees of conferences that we are part of in the weeks and months to come. 🤞
