Chairperson: David Oliver, Rochester, United Kingdom Communication with patients in neurology is very often not easy. In this teaching course we want to address difficult communication which is not due to neurological impairment but due to difficult contents. Frequently, we are not trained in breaking bad news, discussing end-of-life decisions and interventions or how to react if a patient asks for assisted dying. This course wants to address these issues in an interactive way with experienced colleagues from the field of neurology and palliative care. |
