This is a final report about a Woolf Institute project to the HEA Islamic Studies Network. The initial aim of the project was to develop a cross disciplinary educational programme tailored to healthcare providers (including doctors nurses medical students and chaplains) those in higher education (particularly in the fields of Islamic and Jewish studies) and also members of the wider academic community who are dealing with the end of life issues. The programme was to be delivered through a one day course to be piloted in an academic/healthcare with the aim of improving participants' understanding of how Islamic and Jewish beliefs interact with medical issues relating to end of life care both in terms of patient expectations and requirements and how these beliefs can assist medical staff patients and their families in dealing with the difficulties of end of life care.
