Webinar: family concerns regarding donation
On October 8, the NTS organized a free webinar about family concerns regarding donation. You can watch the webinar back.
About the webinar
Radboudumc has conducted research into family concerns regarding donation.
In this webinar, we briefly discuss the research and professionals engage in a conversation about the family concerns they encounter in practice and how best to discuss them with the family.
Research outcomes in brief: what concerns are there?
Gert Olthuis, associate professor at the department of medical ethics at Radboudumc, led a study on donation conversations following the amendment of the Donor Act in 2020.
The research question:
- What concerns arise during donation conversations?
- How do these 'difficult issues' manifest themselves?
- How do intensivists and ICU nurses respond to them?
Main concerns
