weLearn Wednesday: Recognising a dying patient

January 26, 2023

Each month as part of weLearn Wednesdays we present a new learning pack identified as a key learning topic from local serious incidents, investigations, complaints, litigation, or coroner cases. The learning may not have a direct link to your area of work; however, the learning provides an opportunity to reflect on some of the wider issues that could be useful for you to consider.

This month’s weLearn is taking learning from incidents, deaths and complaints that have identified greater need to acknowledge our current strengths and weaknesses as part of the decision process, and a need to recognise the possibility of dying in a time-dependent context.

Working with the palliative medicine team we will be focussing on supporting clinicians with this learning – please keep a close eye on related communications through March.
