Bereavement is a universal human experience with significant impacts on health and wellbeing, and GPs are often the first point of contact when someone is bereaved. These conversations require a different approach from the classic problem-solving model of general practice. Whilst most people do not require specialist bereavement support, primary care teams need robust processes and skills to identify bereavement support need, assess risk, support adjustment and signpost appropriately.Understand the impact of bereavement on health and wellbeing, forms of helpful support and the importance to primary care Explore ways that primary care teams can improve services and processes to better identify and proactively support grieving patients Discuss the utility and applicability of a clinical consultation model for bereavement to participants’ own contexts Develop a nuanced understanding of assessing need and delivering more tailored signposting to bereaved patientsBrief presentations, small group discussions, clinical case studies: Introduction (10 mins): Overview of bereavement, health, helpful support and the role of primary care Group Discussion 1 (15 mins): Small group sharing of structures for identifying and contacting bereaved patients in participants own settings; brief presentation of quality improvement initiatives to address and group discussion on feasibility of applying these. Group Discussion 2 (20 mins): Facilitators will present a consultation approach for bereavement in primary care. Groups will discuss its application to example clinical cases and their own context. Presentation (10 mins): Systematic literature review results on informal bereavement support interventions (including studies from at least 8 different European countries) with implications for more tailored signposting for patients presenting to primary care Self-care and questions (5 mins): Consideration of the impact of personal and professional grief on primary care professionals, sharing of resources and opportunity for questions.Attendees will be equipped to better support bereaved patients in primary care across the spectrum of care, from proactive identification to sensitive consulting to tailored signposting.This workshop will demonstrate that bereavement support is a core and important part of primary care and that with simple organisational structures and adaptations to consultation approaches, primary care clinicians are excellently placed to deliver this sensitively and effectively.
