Presentations from Managing difficult conversations - Part one event
14th March, 2024, 09:00-11:45 via Zoom Webinar
We began by exploring best practice when it comes to breaking bad news, how to break the barrier of people being resistant to having conversations around palliative care, and how to have conversations with patients and their loved ones on end of life and support for dying well. We’ll also be discussing whose responsibility it is to have these conversations.
