Sensitivity Warning: this podcast explores a number of topics related to frailty, death and dying.

This podcast explores how clinicians and care professionals can have meaningful, compassionate conversations with people living with uncertainty, while keeping decisions anchored in what matters most to the individual. You will hear practical approaches to proactively introducing Advance Care Planning, ReSPECT and Lasting Power of Attorney, alongside real-world perspectives from across the community, care home and emergency department settings.
