The End-of-Life Essentials project has launched a new animated video, ‘, based on the experiences of very generous woman, who, when faced with her own serious and life limiting illness, wanted her experience shared to highlight the importance of genuine connections with healthcare staff.
Healthcare professionals face unique challenges when providing care to individuals dealing with progressive serious illness who may find themselves in unfamiliar territory when the patient cannot be cured.
In the words of the Project lead, Associate Professor Kim Devery, ‘Safety, trust, and attention for vulnerable people are paramount.’
This animation provides another End-of-Life Essentials educational opportunity to build skills and confidence in patient care, and prompts us to see and respond to patients as people with lives beyond their illness.
