A video camper van was set up in Centenary Square, Bradford, today to record people’s views about death, dying and bereavement.

The visit was part of national Dying Matters awareness week, held by the Dying Matters Coalition of NHS organisations and voluntary and independent health care sectors.

Jo Coombs, director of nursing at NHS Bradford and Airedale said: “By discussing death and dying people make their wishes felt and help their loved ones at a distressing time.”

Views gathered will help the local NHS develop services.

The camper van moved on to Church Green, Keighley, this afternoon.
