Practical Family Donation Conversation (FDC) workshop

This one-day workshop gives participants the opportunity to reflect on the key teachings of the core FDC workshop and practise challenging scenarios in targeted role plays. 

The workshop focuses on:

• key factors in the process, timing and sequence of the donation conversation
• best practices for supporting families in grief and in the donation conversation
• strategies to ensure informed and enduring decision making about donation.

If you are a DonateLife donation specialist, you are required to attend as part of your role. Other healthcare workers involved in the donation process may also attend, particularly senior medical and nursing staff who are involved in donation conversations with families.

You need to have attended a core FDC workshop before this workshop. We recommend you leave at least 6 months between attending the core workshop and this workshop if possible.  

Practical FDC workshops are facilitated by a national group of trainers, including experienced DonateLife donation specialists and education coordinators, intensive care specialists and grief counsellors.
