"Without a doubt, one of the best and most useful learning events I have been on. A year on and I'm still using what I learned with my patients and families I work with."

For Professionals
(Health, Hospice, Social Care, Care Home, Community Staff)
One of the hardest things for any of us to do is to start conversations about end of life care with others. Yet all staff must become more comfortable around end of life conversations and care if the best care is to be delivered to patients and clients who are ill, aging, and facing options for their final days.

Our programme was developed to break the taboo of talking about death and dying, based on real stories of the public and professionals alike. Our workshops confirm that we may have information, yet can benefit from a place to get some tips, tools and share what works together.

Half or full day workshops have been delivered nationally and internationally to medical and nursing students, administrative staff of GP practices, health, social care, hospice and specialist palliative care staff.
Participants:
  • Gain tools and tips for advance care conversations with your patients, families and other staff in your team or organisation

  • Explore personal and professional beliefs and challenges around advance care conversations and planning

  • Strengthen confidence and competence in talking with patients/clients about their wishes (medical, spiritual, emotional, social)

  • Support personal capacity for person-centered conversations and care

  • Improve confidence to engage in these conversations with others in a positive way (personally or professionally)
For anyone who wants to improve their capacity to provide patient centered care by becoming more comfortable with these conversations, we offer:
