Staff working in primary care offer support at the time of bereavement to each other, patients, their families, and carers every day in their roles. Often this is through being with each other, by listening and having conversations, however this may be something we wonder if we can do differently.
This webinar will include discussion about how to support people who are bereaved, including exploring the role that Community Chaplaincy Listening (CCL) offers as it delivers a skilled listening service within a variety of health and social care settings.
