Scenario

Lisa Scott is a 39 year old lady who has been diagnosed with ALS MND. There has been a rapid progression in her symptoms including difficulty swallowing, choking, upper and lower limb weakness and increased shortness of breath. Lisa lives alone, she has given up her retail role and is now struggling at home with frequent falls. Lisa has declined any support at home and has been reluctant to engage in conversations about the future. Our MND CNS is meeting with Lisa to explore future care planning

Learning outcomes

In this advanced clinical communication workshop participants will:

· Communicate sensitively and effectively with people and those close to them about serious illness, deteriorating health, goals of care and CPR.

· Discuss treatment and care options and outcomes within a person-centred model of shared decision-making and Realistic Medicine.

· Respond to anger, distress, collusion and other complex emotions.

· Discuss the benefits and limitations of treatment in a balanced way.
