End of life care: making nurses confident to talk about dying
Description
How should nursing staff be expected to meet the growing need for palliative and end of life care now and in the future?
The latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast hears the views of leading nurses on how to equip the profession with the skills and confidence to talk to and support those at the end of life, both in general and specialist areas.
RCNi senior nurse editor Richard Hatchett chairs a discussion of these issues with NHS England chief nursing officer Duncan Barton, University of Glasgow clinical professor of nursing and palliative care Bridget Johnston, Marie Curie chief nursing officer Annette Weatherley and RCN UK chief nursing officer Lynn Woolsey.
This episode was recorded at a Marie Curie and Royal College of Nursing conference on the future of palliative and end of life care in London in June 2025.
