Sorry - what exactly is being suggested here? 'Shouldn't judge'? Is conducting these conversations not now established to be a lawful requirement?

If anything it makes them a better one, recognising their limits. A poorly lead discussion can do untold damage.

With respect, a poorly delivered, (or undelivered), general anaesthetic can do untold damage too - but we don't let people skip over that step with patients because they've had a bad experience previously. It's a skill like any other which must be mastered to be competent, imho.

I don’t think anyone is saying not to do it; what I / we are asking is to support staff properly. You wouldn’t ask the dermatologist to give a GA. However the dermatologist might retrain, and be well supported during the training, in anaesthesia.

DNACPR isn’t anyone’s speciality, could that be part of the problem?

That's true, but this is not really a change of discipline for me. All treating clinicians must be able to communicate relevant info to pts already. For consent, if nothing else. If discussing death is the problem, then maybe the insurance industry can help - they do it every day

Good grief how on earth can you compare this highly sensitive often painful subject to the insurance industry peddling their products for profit.

Because Aidan, in the pursuit of excellence we don't rule out any potential source/industry in the pursuit of securing every possible improvement. There is no obligation to throw out the baby with the bath water, just because you don't like the look of the bath water. That's how.
