In this episode Sam sat down with Dr John Platt, an NHS Geriatrician and Stroke physician with over 30 years of NHS experience under his belt. John gave us great insight into how we can best structure and approach our conversations with relatives of patient's regarding DNAR decisions, withdrawal of feeding and end of life care.  Quiz the Consultant returned as John tackled the mildly obscure topic of Dr Samuel Johnson, the intellectual titan who wrote and published one of the first ever published dictionaries! ^_^ SUPPORT THE SHOW ^_^> > Access Quesmed HERE! 15% off with discount code: PREPACES15 < <* * *Sign up for PACES Ahead HERE! * * * Music:Chase & Superepic by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back listeners to another solo sit down with Dr Sam Williams to discuss a communication station topic: consent and capacity!

Cousin Dave also makes his debut as 'disgruntled man' - I couldn't be more grateful to them for filling a gap which in reality, I probably could've done myself, it just would've been more boring.  Twitter: @prepacespodcastEmail (prepacespodcast@gmail.com)https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prepacespodcast   Hosted on Acast.
