Bereavement-Related Educational Resources and Events
Bereavement webinar series 2022
The first 2 webinars of the series are available to view on the SAD website.
‘Supporting primary care teams to talk and be with people who are bereaved or experiencing living grief’
The first instalment of the series addresses how to talk and be with people who are experiencing bereavement or 'living grief', considering the sense of loss that may follow knowing or caring for someone with a long-term or degenerative condition.
‘The Compassionate Space in Bereavement Support’
This webinar considers the dimension of compassion in bereavement support. Looking at the outward and inward flow of compassion in relationships, it will explore some helpful ways of navigating the space between supporting others and supporting ourselves in the process.
The SAD website also hosts recordings and resources from other previous NHS Education for Scotland (NES) Bereavement webinars.
Medical Certification of Cause of Death (MCCD)
The Grief & Bereavement team continue to work with the Death Certification Review Service to develop a range of educational materials and learning events to support doctors certifying death.
