Web site: RealTalk - Engaging patients in end of life talk

A very useful resource for those involved in delivering training on end of life communication skills.  Real Talk is a collaboration between Loughborough University, The Loros Hospice Loughborough and Derby University with the aim to enhance the quality and effectiveness of communication skills training in end of life care.  A manual is available to download covering 4 topics: broaching dying; answering how long have I got; answering questions about pain, and using pain scales.   The site also includes other useful resources.

More information on the project can be found here and the specific modules and manual here
