Our RTUK Talks series welcomes the workforce and oncology community to our latest webinar.
Title: What matters to patients? Important conversations about life, death and everything in between
Date: Tuesday, June 25
Time: 8pm GMT/UTC
Where: Online Zoom webinar
Cost: Free
Join Jean Fisher – Lead facilitator in Advanced Communication Skills Training and experienced palliative care nurse – as we explore how even a five-minute conversation can be a game changer for people with cancer. Jean shares her years of experience in spotting when people want to talk and what about, offers some surprising insights into what matters most when we are approaching death and explores how the workforce can be of service when it comes to important conversations. Jean works with senior clinicians, helping them to deepen their communication skills.
We’ll also be welcoming Debbie Donnison, who will share her own experience of a Stage 4 diagnosis and her thoughts on meaningful conversations, our reluctance to talk about death and advanced care, and the wider patient perspective. Debbie will offer practical insights around mirroring language, acknowledging patient expertise and the mental strain of appointments.
