Compassionate Companionship: How to have Effective Conversations in Health Care

Our next CPD session will be an interactive workshop, facilitated by Dr Kathryn Mannix, medical writer.

Kathryn was a consultant in palliative medicine in the North of England for 20 years, working in hospices, patients’ own homes and a large teaching hospital. Her hospital role included working alongside colleagues in the medical and surgical specialties, the Emergency Department and ICU, and co-working palliative care with colleagues specialising in the management of long-term conditions. She took early retirement in 2016 to work for better public understanding of dying; this has included radio work, newspaper articles and a book With the End in Mind that, somewhat expectedly, became an international Best Seller, was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize and was The Times ‘Thought’ Book of the Year. Her second book, Listen, about tender communication, was published in September 2021. Stories are her preferred way to explore the nuances of people's experiences and to demonstrate different perspectives.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday 26th April 2022, 14:00-17:00 (UK Time)

The event will be hosted via Zoom.
