Current

AHPCA 2012 Roadshow Coming Soon!

 

‘Talking about the tough stuff’ will focus on open communication between the person living with a life threatening illness and their families, friends and healthcare providers.

  • What can we do to support a person with a life threatening illness?
  • How can we communicate openly with them throughout their journey about their fears, hopes, wishes, questions and plans?
  • How can we maintain relationships while ensuring that the tough stuff is talked about?
  • How can we talk openly and clearly about decisions about end of life treatment?
  • How can we deal with the uncomfortable feelings, concerns and questions about advance care planning?

Workshop Presenter:  Sharon Iverson RN MC Ed
