It's the end, but the moment has been prepared for.

This week Nottingham GP Dr Jamie Parker joins Nik to talk about the Netflix film starring Carey Mulligan and Ralph Fiennes, 'The Dig'-  and how watching this might lead on to discussions regarding end of life care. How can we get better at these difficult conversations?
There's also the usual look at the medical news headlines and the week on daytime TV.
