ellenor’s Life In Every Breath film is a finalist in the £5m - £15m income bracket. Other categories included those for long-form, cause and other income brackets, to ensure a fair and level playing field.
A public vote pushed us through to the final stage of the competition.
Gail Price was featured with husband of 48 years Peter, in our film, talking about her experience of being cared for at ellenor. She talked about her care being her choice, having decided to spend the time she had left, enjoying fun and laughter rather than going through more treatment. It also showed interviews with staff, talking about how they support patients – starting with asking them what their beliefs, values and wishes are, listening to their journey so far and enabling them to be in charge of their own care. Comfort, support, dignity and a holistic approach enable ellenor to look at the emotional and psychological needs, alongside their medical ones, allowing them to carry on living for whatever time they have left.
The film also touched on early referral – to give ellenor the chance to help people to live until the end of their life, with care given at home, or at the hospice.
