WEBINAR: People with a learning disability at the end of life

WEBINAR: People with a learning disability at the end of life

WHAT DOES THE LITERATURE TELL US?

Dr Joanne Jordan (The Open University) will share the findings of the scoping review for the DAPPLE project. Joanne and her colleagues searched for evidence about:

• How is the need for palliative and end of life care identified in people with a learning disability?
• How is that need assessed and met?
• How are local services coordinated and staff trained?

WHAT CAN WE LEARN ABOUT COMMUNICATION AT THE END OF LIFE?

Dr Andrea Bruun (Kingston University) will tell you about her pilot study looking at how staff, people with a learning disability and carers communicate together in a hospice setting. She video-recorded 3 consultations and used Conversation Analysis techniques to learn from them.
