Kidney Supportive Care Update
Time: 0900 - 1200
Cost: $200
Location: Broughton & Ferguson Room, National Wine Centre
Facilitator: Dr Frank Brennan
Kidney Supportive Care (KSC) is an alliance between Nephrology and Palliative Medicine to provide holistic care for all patients with kidney failure, whether or not they are receiving Kidney Replacement Therapy (KRT) (dialysis or transplantation). This is a rapidly evolving and expanding sub-discipline with growing input from the International Society of Nephrology (ISN). Working closely with Nephrology, the role of Palliative Medicine includes communication skills, symptom assessment and management, advance care planning and care of the deteriorating and dying patient. This Update will present the most recent evidence and developments in this field.

Good communication is an essential skill in palliative medicine but many of us have never had any formal communication skills training. Research shows that communication skills can be taught and better communication has multiple benefits both for our patients and ourselves. In this interactive half – day workshop, participants will have the opportunity to practice their communication skills in a safe space with trained facilitators. This workshop is taught using the VitalTalk method and is modelled on the highly – regarded AChPM Communication Skills Workshops.
