About this episode:
In this month’s episode – we get real. As we move through our careers, we become more and more exposed to suicides, fatal car accidents, medical and age related deaths or deaths due to negligence or even assault. So, let’s talk about the reality of what happens when you’re dealing with a deceased patient and their family for the first time with the amazing Jacquie Willis.
Jacquie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience on this topic and emphasises the importance of knowing how to cope with the patient’s family, friends and manage your own emotions. Especially as we progress through our careers, we can find ourselves in vulnerable situations that will really challenge us to be more human than ever.
