2021 NHS Education for Scotland Medical Directorate Awards 

The Grief and Bereavement workstream has been recognised as highly commended within NHS Education for Scotland's 8th Medical Directorate Awards in the category of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, announced at the NES Annual Conference on 27th and 28th May 2021.  

This is given in recognition of achievement and commitment to supporting diverse & inclusive practices in a medical education context.  Examples of our educational resources in this area are: 

Supporting the spiritual care needs of those who are nearing the end of life

Supporting LGBT+ people around death and bereavement

We also hosted a webinar on Supporting LGBT+ people around death and bereavement in March 2021 which was very well received.  The slides from this event can be viewed here and a recording will be coming soon to the website.   

The next webinar will be held on Wednesday 7 July 2021, 17:00-18:00 and is titled: Faith, spiritual care and mourning rituals: understanding how to support people around the time of death. Click here to register
