Royal College of Surgeons – End of Life Care Podcasts

June 22, 2018 by Murray Anderson-Wallace

As part of our ongoing relationship with the Royal College of Surgeons of England, Murray is working with colleague Roland Denning to write and produce a short series of audio podcasts to support the new RCS Guidance on End of Life Care.

Contributors will include Dame Clare Marx, Past President of the RCS; Miss Sue Hill, Vice President of the RCS; and Professor Keri Thomas OBE, National Clinical Lead, GSF Centre CIC for End of Life Care and Hon. Professor End of Life Care, University of Birmingham.

The podcasts will explore the moral, ethical and professional dimensions of end of life care plan, specifically with the surgical community in mind. The podcasts will be available to download in August 2018.

This production builds on the successful series exploring informed consent and supported decision-making made in 2017.
