To mark Good Life, Good Death, Good Grief Awareness Week 2013, Before I
die walls were constructed in the Western Isles Hospital, Balivanich Clinic
and Tagsa Uibhist. There was a
tremendous response, with people freely sharing their
varied aspirations for the future such as: 'Cherish those close to me'; 'Camp
under the Northern Lights'; and 'Invite you all to my 100th Birthday
Party'!
A café conversation was held in the Western Isles Hospital during this week which enabled University of Stirling nursing students and NHS staff to discuss issues surrounding death and dying. Various topics were discussed including how to break bad news and what to say to those recently bereaved. Feedback from the event will help inform how teaching is delivered to undergraduate nurses at the Western Isles campus and future bereavement care training in NHS Western Isles.
