In this episode, Clare Tucker talks to Ruth Fisher, lecturer in paramedic science, Queen Margaret University about supporting those who are bereaved in an out of hospital context. Ruth reflects on her 10 years as a paramedic and supporting students dealing with death and bereavement in the course of their work. Ruth also shares how it's okay to be okay as much as it's okay to not be okay.

Discussing dying is something most of us shy away from. The potential discomfort is not just in the patient’s mind - it’s also likely to be in the minds of the professionals who are looking after them. This NES video aims to help healthcare professionals discuss dying openly and honestly with their patients.
Two downloadable leaflets which accompany the video can be found here: summary leaflet and detailed leaflet.
