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.
