In the advent of terrorism not every patient and situation turns out well. Little is taught to the pre-hospital clinician about how to break bad news yet critical care practitioners are increasingly drawn upon to deliver this life changing information. This talk will examine some of the psychology around how families/ friends receive bad news and some of the most robust techniques and experiences of good delivery within critical care.

The energy is unparalleled and the presence of so many amazingly energetic minds creates an electrifying experience.
The combination of an incredible speaker line-up, practical workshops and demonstrations of medical techniques in challenging environments, is a compelling proposition for our international audience of medical professionals, more than 700 of whom attended the four-day event in 2016.
