Trust embraces TUC's Dying to Work Charter

An NHS trust has signed up to a TUC initiative that supports workers who have a terminal illness.

Together with trade unions representing staff working for its services, the Stockport NHS Foundation Trust has signed the Dying to Work Charter.

UNISON Stockport Health Branch secretary and healthcare assistant David McAllister said: “Every person battling terminal conditions deserves the choice of how to spend their final months. When staff are faced with such a tough diagnosis, we are committed to ensuring that they are treated with respect in a supportive work environment.”
