#65 Living and Dying with Kidney Disease with Dr Barny Hole & Dr Emma Murphy
Manage episode 374230748 series 3297583
In this episode it is my pleasure to talk with Dr Barny Hole and Dr Emma Murphy. Barny is a kidney doctor currently studying for a PhD. Barny’s research looks at how older people with kidney failure decide between dialysis and comprehensive conservative care.
Emma is an Associate Clinical Professor in Nephrology Nursing with a combined clinical and academic role. Emma is currently leading the QUALYCARE Kidney study which aims to understand the variations in the quality of end-of-life care for patients with kidney disease on dialysis.
We explore the trajectory of kidney disease, conversations around stopping dialysis and what Advance Care Planning with kidney disease looks like.
The episode is one of two that we recorded. We touch on language and terminology in this episode and agree to talk again, focusing on the complexity of language associated with Palliative and End of Life Care and discontinuing treatment. You can hear that discussion in the next episode.
If you are a team looking to provide better end of life care, or set up a one off or complete education programme in end of life care head to www.speakformelpa.co.uk where I provide details on how I can help you. You will also find information about my Lasting Power of Attorney consultancy and the talks I offer for organisations.
