Optimising Staff-patient Communication in Advanced Renal disease (OSCAR) - 4-year NIHR-funded research study led by @Lucy_Selman. Follow for study updates!

[OSCAR_study @OSCAR_study]

Did you know that at some renal units about 5% of older people have dialysis, while at others 95% do? This is partly due to how clinicians communicate about treatment options. In this new blog I discuss how the @OSCAR_study aims to tackle the problem #CKD #decisionmaking

[Kidney Care UK @kidneycareuk.bsky.social @kidneycareuk]

New research kicking off later this year will investigate how kidney doctors engage with & support older people making the decision whether or not to have dialysis. Found out more about the @OSCAR_study by reading our latest blog by @Lucy_Selman https://t.co/phu2QM6zBC

The @OSCAR_study team were pleased to contribute to this new patient information resource about conservative kidney management from @kidneycareuk , now online:

Looking forward to speaking at this @UKKidney event in March, sharing findings from @OSCAR_study

[Good Grief Festival @GoodGriefFest]

Are you a clinician looking to learn more about grief and bereavement? Our new course, When Grief Gets Complicated, is now approved for 7 CPD points by

"Clinicians too have a critical role in reshaping attitudes and so must build their own death and grief literacy."

Changing attitudes to death and grief demands bold action, writes @Lucy_Selman

[Lucy Selman @Lucy_Selman]

This paper from @OSCAR_study builds on the CKMAPPS study, particularly qualitative data analysis by @SKGTonkinCrine @paulrsoton and colleagues, by showing how treatment decision-making is biased by the framing of dialysis and conservative management.

We, the medical profession, have to get right behind you on this @doctor_oxford. These terms are being used to mislead the public. These are not physicians nor cancer specialists @VictoriaAtkins @NHSEngland @AmandaPritchard.

[OSCAR_study @OSCAR_study]

Dr Chloe Shaw presented Conversation Analytic findings regarding the presentation of treatment options to older patients. We found that clinicians tend to present dialysis as the default treatment & conservative management as subordinate. 3/3

[OSCAR_study @OSCAR_study]

Team members Dr Chloe Shaw and Dr Ryann Sowden are now back from the @ERAkidney conference in beautiful Stockholm, where they presented findings from @OSCAR_study on treatment decision-making in advanced kidney disease. 1/3

[OSCAR_study @OSCAR_study]

@RyannSowden presented on how descriptions of treatment options in information resources are often biased and how this may influence patient understanding and decision-making. 2/3

[Barbara Gomes @B_Gomes_]

Very original work by @Lucy_Selman on @OSCAR_study using conversational analysis. Revealed 2 ways of presenting renal treatment options - dialysis as normative (audio example in slide) vs. conservative management as valid option. #EAPC2023 👏🏻👏🏻

If you are missing #EAPC2023 and want to hear about more palliative care research, join our research network meeting this Thursday at 2pm UK time!
