OnlineAbout the event
In this ‘on the couch’ webinar, Mel and Fazila discussed a range of topics that affect primary care colleagues when caring for patients who are deemed End of Life.
Why it’s important
Primary care is a very pressured environment at the moment and it’s crucial to understand the specific needs of palliative patients and where you can access support.
What was covered
This session covered:
- knowing when a patient is at the end of their life
- prescribing anticipatory medicines
- having difficult conversations with patients and families
- advance care planning
There was lively discussion and participation through the chat box and a follow up ‘podcast’ was recorded to answer specific questions that we were unable to cover during the webinar.
