When a Child Dies: A framework for general practice

The death of a child is a devastating event for any parent. The unimaginable has happened, and the death has far reaching implications for all who knew and loved them. General Practice is well placed to support parents through this trauma, offering person centred care, empathy and understanding. General Practice, however, can struggle to know how to best respond. Child death is more common that many realise, but is, thankfully, a rare event. GPs may not have dealt with this previously and will benefit from resources and guidance. “When a child dies – a Framework for General Practice” is designed to help General Practice to support bereaved parents. This session will outline the work that has taken place to produce this framework and will describe an approach that GPs can take to support bereaved families. Join this meeting if you wish to gain confidence in dealing with this challenging and emotive situation.
