    Open AccessLouise Prendergast, Roiyah Saltus et al.ARTICLEOMEGA - Journal of Death and Dying2025

    End-of-life doulas (EOLDs) provide non-medical, holistic support to individuals at or near the end-of-life.

    Drawing on quantitative data from a large study, we explored service providers' perceptions of the care and support provided to older women from Black and minority ethnic backgrounds living in the UK.

A number of information pathways and barriers to service p…
