Supporting and Improving Communication in End of Life Care

Wed, 5 Feb 2025

Virtual, Online

Follow the conference on X #EOLCommunication

This conference focuses on improving communication in end of life care and will highlight best practice in individualised advance care planning. We will explore the findings of the National Audit of Care at the End of Life 2022/23 Report and focus on key areas where improvements are needed, such as involving patients in their care, meeting the needs of family members and how we respond to the possibility of imminent death. We will also discuss the challenges of talking about death and why overcoming the taboo can benefit everyone. This conference will also look at how technology is being used to improve end of life care communication, and how that has changed since the pandemic.

“A quarter of cases had a documented discussion about the extent to which the patient wished to be involved in their care, while 62% had no discussion documented but a reason recorded. This suggests earlier action is required once uncertain recovery is identified, to avoid missed opportunities to involve patients and those important to them.”

National Audit of Care at the End of Life 2022/23 Report

“Open and honest communication with families and others close to the dying person is crucially important to high quality end of life care. Guidance references the need for staff to actively seek to communicate with the dying person and those important to them, check the person’s understanding of the information and to document this.”
