Communication skills training in end-of-life care.
Health professionals lack confidence in end-of-life care issues, particularly in communicating with dying patients and their families. University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire Trust set up a two-day training course on communication skills in end-of-life care for healthcare assistants. Evaluations showed this increased staff confidence.
