Reports and announcements
Hospice UK and Sue Ryder have joined together to explore access to bereavement services by engaging with people who have recently lost someone close to them.

MND Association have launched a new animated film about voice and message banking. Endorsed by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, the animation provides a brief overview of voice and message banking, plus where people with MND can get support to complete these.
The 2018 Hawking Annual MND Lecture, hosted at the Royal College of Nursing in November, will focus on cognitive change, which has in recent years been increasingly recognised as a feature of motor neurone disease (MND).

An overview of reviews: The effectiveness
of interventions to address loneliness at all stages of the life-course (What Works Wellbeing, October 2018)

overview of systematic reviews conducted on loneliness between 2008-2018.

evaluation reports is also included. We have only included findings from
studies using controlled study designs and measuring loneliness as reported in
the reviews.
