Professor Mark Taubert FRCP FRCGP is a German-British doctor and professor of medicine at Cardiff University.[1][2] He is a palliative care doctor in Wales, who according to the Western Mail [3] has contributed significantly to the development of his specialty, and has received recognition as an overseas doctor who has furthered the field of end-of-life care provision nationally and internationally.

He wrote to the late David Bowie in January 2016 about a conversation he had with a dying patient, a letter that went viral.[4]

He is the founder of Talk CPR, an international information campaign that discusses the sometimes controversial topic of do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation decisions.

Open letter to David Bowie

In 2016, he published a thank you letter to David Bowie after the singer's death, with refernece to Bowie's last album, Blackstar.[5][6][7][8] The letter was published on a little-known medical blog site,[9] but was seen and retweeted by David Bowie's son Duncan Jones.[10] It went viral online and in global newsrooms,[11] and was subsequently read out by the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch [12] and Jarvis Cocker[13] at public events. The letter addresses issues such as palliative care and planning for the end of life. Bowie's story became a way to communicate important aspects of dying with a palliative care patient.[4][14]

It was turned into a classical music string quartet composition for BBC Radio 3 by composer John Uren, featuring Taubert reading the letter.[4] It toured, premiering at the Royal Northern College of Music.[15]
