What is trauma informed care?
Working in palliative and end-of-life care, you will encounter people affected by trauma – whether your patients, their families and friends, your colleagues, or even yourself. Dying is an intense experience, both physically and emotionally, and as such, our workplaces can be settings where trauma resurfaces.
Recognising and addressing past and ongoing traumatic experiences requires knowledge and skills which are grounded in trauma-informed care. This face-to-face course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to fully support patients, including those with a history of trauma, in end-of-life care settings.
We hope that this study day will help to develop the understanding of Trauma Informed Palliative Care more widely, share the current evidence base, and share practical tips and hints to take back to practice.
Our programme will include the following talks:
- Learning from the evidence (Rebecca Salama)
Explore international research on Trauma Informed Care, providing the foundation for our discussions throughout the day. Review of key literature in palliative care, highlighting what we currently know as well as the gaps which remain.
- Practicing in a trauma-informed way (Rebecca Salama and Dr Shaun Peter Qureshi)
Presentation and discussion of two case studies, examining our current practices alongside best practice. We will explore how to apply our learning from these case studies into our own practice.
- Breathwork (Kate Binnie)
A practical session, providing tips to support trauma-informed practice with patients and their families. Kate will also guide us through some techniques to care for ourselves in challenging situations.
- Trauma-informed approaches to palliative and end-of-life care for people experiencing marginalisation (Dr Shaun Peter Qureshi)
Dr Qureshi will present recommendations developed from his Churchill Fellowship research, exploring trauma-informed approaches to palliative care that exist in North America, and considering how these approaches might be applied in the UK context. This session aims to inspire ideas for change for our own practice and to bring back to our workplaces.
