ACP and TEPs
Organised by NHSGGC. Thursday 5th May 2022. 4.00-5.00pm. Event hosted on MS Teams.
How can we help our on-call teams to do the right thing in the middle of the night - when faced with a deteriorating patient that they have never met? Sometimes intervening may be of no benefit or could cause distress but making that judgement can be very difficult. It is possible that there is a plan but accessing it may be a challenge. We will discuss the plans that may be available, how to find them, how to improve them and how to initiate them and have the conversation.
Please note, this is a recording of a session which took place as part of NHSGGC’s Realistic Medicine Week in March 2022.
This event is open to staff across NHSGGC Health and Social Care staff, as well as people working in Care Homes or 3rd Sector.
