Taubert, M; Watts, G; Boland, J; Radbruch, L.
The authors focus on how the subject of death and dying has influenced the world of microblogging, how it is fast becoming the focus of research and discuss how this may impact on the professional lives of palliative care workers, in particular around the area of digital legacy building and memorialisation. There is also a brief overview of what else social media can provide for palliative care and bereavement workers in terms of information provision, discussion forums, feedback, opinion gathering and research.
