I have been mostly told that it’s because of the fear of litigation because of the legal requirement.

What is the nature of that fear Kate? Have people given specifics or is it just more general worries about being taken to court?

Usually it’s losing their job.

But for what: not having the converdation; having it or having it badly? Or for deciding not to offer CPR?

The impression I get is the ‘doing it and getting it wrong’ scenario causing complaint. Weird isn’t it? The legal requirement is to discuss,it’s the non discussion that may end up in court. Poor discussion is (should be) a learning issue.

Elin is an inspiration.
If I can pull and energy from my boots, Education for patients is top of my list.
