SUPPORT AROUND DEATH

Dealing with death and bereavement at work: perspectives from an Emergency Department team

Launch of new Emergency Department film

07/08/24

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new film that has been developed with colleagues from NHS Grampian.

The film highlights the experiences of a range of clinical and non-clinical Emergency Department staff as they encounter situations involving death and bereavement in the course of their work.

It can be used as a reflective tool for all healthcare staff (individually or within a group) to consider how they personally have dealt with their own experiences of death and bereavement at work.

Consideration of ways in which staff can look after themselves and their colleagues is a prominent theme throughout the film. Another important focus is highlighting the impact that death and bereavement can have upon all team members, including those who are in non-clinical roles e.g. reception, administrative and portering staff.

 

Access the film above or view the film and read the accompanying flyer with reflective questions here.
