Scenario

Olivia Johnston, aged 39, is married with two children aged 5 and 9. She lives with her husband. Olivia has pancreatic cancer with liver and nodal metastatic disease.  Surgery was not an option at diagnosis and the disease has progressed through several lines of anticancer treatment. At the last oncology appointment it was explained that there were no further anticancer treatment options and no further oncology FU planned. A DNACPR form is in place following a recent hospital admission.

Today Olivia has requested a visit from the Community Nurse as she feels her pain is worse.  The nurse is keen to explore with Olivia her preferred place of care and death.

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.

· Talk about Anticipatory Care Planning informed by an understanding of ‘what matters’ to people and their families.

· 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.
