⛅️ ‘Solnedgangskassen’ (the Sunset Box) is improving in-home palliative care for families in the Northern Jutland Region 🌥   The project, based at Aalborg Universitetshospital, was one of the first to receive a BETA. HEALTH grant and has since gained momentum – receiving a second grant last winter and completing two rounds of the ‘accelerator programme’.   Last week, the Sunset Box became part of the Regional Council’s 2025 approved budget, paving the way for families of terminal patients to provide high standards of in-home care more easily.    Until now, the families of the 82% of terminal patients in Northern Jutland choosing to receive palliative care at home faced a number of challenges – particularly a lack of vital information and insufficient supplies of critical end-of-life medication.    The Sunset Box changes that. By providing essential medication and clear information, the box helps to reduce stress and ensure that families can focus on what matters most – spending quality time with their loved ones.    During its pilot programme, the box was shown to reduce emergency readmissions, allowing more patients live out their final days in familiar surroundings 🏠   Watch the video to learn more about this project and how it began 👇   🎬 Video production by Styrvolt    Anne Lund Krarup, Dorte Melgaard Kristiansen, Mike Sæderup Astorp, Innovationsklinikken, Region Nordjylland, Carina Østervig Byskov, Nadja Willis, Jacob Ravn
