[Andrew G. Marshall - Therapy @andrewgmarshall]

Most of us have a conversation we’re avoiding: a child coming out to their parent, a family losing someone to terminal illness, a friend noticing early signs of dementia.

How do we find the courage to  talk, listen and be there for one another?

@drkathrynmannix,  a consultant in palliative care medicine, has spent her career having what she describes as “tender conversations” with bereaved families.

Her book, Listen: How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations, is a guide to broaching difficult subjects with those we care about.

In this classic episode, we discuss why it is we so often don’t say what needs to be said. We look at how to be brave in the face of discomfort, how to sit with silence, and how to speak from a place of gentleness and care.

Our latest paper finds palliative care needs among people with dementia are much higher than previous estimates have suggested.

Highlighting the importance of ACP and ADRT conversations with patients and their loved ones

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

'I want to die peacefully, without drugs or interventions'.

Dione outlined her dying wishes, but her son Chris says when the time came she was ignored. Exclusive polling by the charity Compassion in Dying shows 1 in 4 people said their last close relative or friend who died received medical treatment they would not have wanted.

Does anyone use this in palliative care yet for severe incident pain?
Looking at alternatives to pre-emptive opioid/benzodiazepines for those who cannot tolerate or when they are simply not effective?
