Description

This is a one day programme run in an interactive and informal way to ensure each individual who attends receives practical advice and suggestions in caring for a person at the end of life.

This workshop covers:

Finding ways to communicate with the person in your care to establish their wishes and preferences
Improving confidence in having difficult conversations
Exploring what a ‘good’ death might be like, comfort and dignity
Practical ways to identify and alleviate basic, potentially uncomfortable conditions
Building confidence in identity changes caused by conditions and knowledge on the health or social professionals who may need to be involved
Exploring ways for carers to care for themselves
