Delighted to welcome Kay De Vries, Professor of Older People’s Health at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU), Buddhist, research fellow, accidental academic and nurse to #LOROS earlier today. Kay shared her rich and varied journey through palliative care with an audience of nearly 50 people. We love the quote, Kay!
It’s crucial that health and social care professionals have great communication skills so they can engage with patients well.
We have a few spaces left, due to cancellations, on our Advanced Communication skills course on 12th and 13th February – this course ALWAYS sells out so book now! Email lpdc@loros.co.uk https://bit.ly/2TfxyKP
A great turn out for our Masterclass on Intractable Breathing - Dr Barbara Powell and Hannah Poulton discussing its impact and the best ways to manage it.
We've got a full house today at our Heart Failure half day workshop today - lots of great learning going on!
Can't wait to get started on our SAGE & THYME communications training! We've had a great turn out for this course providing psychological support to people who are anxious or distressed.
There are a few places left on our Heart Failure half day workshop on 12th Dec - find out more on our website.
We were delighted to welcome Professor Mark Johnson today to talk about issues of cultural competence, ethnicity and end of life care: a research challenge.
Referencing Leicester as the most integrated city in Britain, Professor Johnson outlined the importance of engaging with patients’ culture and ethnicity, giving powerful examples of the implications for safety and quality. It was definitely thought provoking!
Really informative session from Professor Kristian Pollock outlining the origins, key components and effectiveness of Advance Care Planning - pointing out the contradictions too - empowering patients is key but promoting a national conversation about dying is far from easy!
We’re having a great #GettingItRight conference - so far we’ve heard from Pip Hardy of Patient Voices, Professor Christina Faull on the role of a hospice and Dr Kathryn Mannix, challenging us to join her dying revolution and prepare better as a society for death.
