Following the success of our previous sessions, Getting Bereavement Right Every Time is returning again on Thursday 4th February 2027. Registration is now open.

All health and social care staff are likely to come into contact with someone who is bereaved, or a situation around the time of a person’s death. This includes those working in non-clinical, administrative and other support roles, as well as staff in teams which are directly patient or client-facing. Yet these conversations can feel difficult to navigate, leaving many unsure of what to say, what to avoid, or how to manage their own emotional response.

This session will provide an introduction to grief and bereavement. It may help those attending feel more confident in answering questions about bereavement such as:

• What should I say to someone who tells me they have recently been bereaved?
• Are there particular words I should or shouldn’t use?
• What if I say the ‘wrong’ thing?
• Is it normal to be upset if someone we know from work dies?
