About our information

We write information about everything to do with terminal illness, dying, death and bereavement. And we provide it in different formats:

We’re always open to feedback. If you have any comments about our information that you’d like to share with us, email review@mariecurie.org.uk.

We work with people with lived experience of terminal illness – whether they have a diagnosis or are a carer, family member or friend – at every step. They tell us what we should be writing about, what works, and what doesn't.

We also work with subject matter experts, like health and social care professionals. They check that our evidence and information is accurate and relevant, as well as telling us what they hear from patients.

If you’d like the list of the evidence used to create any of our information, please email review@mariecurie.org.uk.
