One of the key aspects of this project is to improve psychological and bereavement support for families in Scotland affected by SCD. The session will discuss the purpose of coordinator role within the SCD care pathway and improving immediate emotional and psychological support. The session will demonstrate how the care coordinator role and ICS can help family’s access essential resources. Other presenters would include someone to cover discussion of autopsy results and aftercare.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="m-richtext row"> <div class=""> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12"> <h3>My Grief My Way: the development of an online bereavement support package integrating Acceptance and Commitment Training and grief theories</h3> <p>David Gillanders, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology</p> <p>Anne Finucane, Senior Marie Curie Research Fellow</p> <p>Anne Canny, Research Associate, University of Edinburgh</p> <p>This session describes the development and evaluation of My Grief My Way (MGMW). MGMW is an online support package that uses Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) to help people to grieve effectively. MGMW uses video stories of people’s grief. It also uses video, worksheets and audio exercises to nurture psychological skills for grieving in a healthy way. Nature imagery, poetry and metaphor are used to enhance engagement. MGMW can be used as pure self-help, or guided self-help with a volunteer. This session will introduce delegates to ACT and the MGMW website.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="m-richtext row"> <div class=""> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12"> <h3>Bereavement in the Workplace: responding to the death of a colleague</h3> <p>Lynne Innes, Lead for Spiritual Staff Care & Wellbeing, NHS Fife</p> <p>Some health and social care staff may, during their working life, experience the death of a peer or colleague. Knowing what to say and do in these circumstances to provide support to ourselves and others can be challenging and naturally people may feel apprehensive.</p> <p>The NHS Education for Scotland Bereavement Education Programme has developed a suite of five e-Learning modules and a range of film resources that cover certain aspects of responding to a colleague’s death. The modules draw both on current guidance to enable staff to offer a person-centred approach which is educationally evidence informed, as well as incorporating real-life case studies which can be used for reflection and discussion.</p> <p>This session will explore how to <span>sensitively share the news about the death of a colleague, </span>considerations for employers and managers, support and wellbeing, and memorialising and remembering.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="m-richtext row"> <div class=""> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12"> <h2>Afternoon Parallel Sessions</h2> </div> </div> </section> <section class="m-5050videotext"> <div class=""> <h2></h2> <div class="row m-richtext"> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6 pull-right"> <div class="video"> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1022430064" width="100%" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> <div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-6"> <h3>Singing for Happiness: Understanding how singing in groups can improve mood and overall wellbeing</h3> <p>Samir Savant, Chief Executive, St George's Bristol</p> <p>Kat Branch, Head of Centre for Music, UWE Bristol</p> <p>This unusual and engaging session will demonstrate how group singing can improve social and psychological wellbeing, sharing the early findings of the first iteration of<span> </span><em>Sing for Happiness</em>: the largest UK group singing study to date that was open to all members of the public (rather than those with a specific health concern) many of whom had never sung before and/or believed they ‘could not sing’.

The framework also identifies supports/services appropriate to meet each level of need and the corresponding knowledge/skills for those providing support. However, there are no agreed standards for bereavement care services in Ireland, nor agreed competencies for service providers at any level of care. </p> <p>The first phase of the project aimed to develop a CORE Competence Framework for bereavement service providers working at Level 2. A literature review of competence in bereavement care and aligned areas was conducted. The findings from this review informed a two-round eDelphi survey which was used to develop the competence framework. In the second phase, this framework was used to inform the development of an eLearning training resource for bereavement service providers. </p> <p>This session will outline the rigour and robust methodology used to develop the CORE competence framework for Bereavement Service provider working at Level 2 of the <a href="https://hospicefoundation.ie/our-supports-services/bereavement-loss-hub/i-work-in-bereavement/adult-bereavement-care-pyramid/" target="_blank">Framework for Adult Bereavement Care</a>, describe the value of the framework and introduce the eLearning programme which provides an introductory level learning to each of the five competence domains outlined in the Competence Framework.</p> </div> </div> </section> <section class="m-richtext row"> <div class=""> <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-12"> <h3>The ripple effect of good self-care and confidence in holding difficult conversations when supporting bereavement and grief</h3> <p>Joe McGeady, Bereavement Support Services Lead - Scotland</p> <p>Kristin O’Neill, Child Bereavement Team Lead, NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde Child Bereavement UK</p> <p>Child Bereavement UK supports families when a child dies or is not expected to live as well as children who are grieving.

However understanding of how to harness these forms of support most effectively remains limited. This workshop will present the findings of a major systematic review into the evidence for impact of informal and peer-led bereavement support interventions, incorporating studies of peer-support groups, one-to-one peer support, social media usage, online forums and self-administered writing tools amongst others. The review also looked for evidence around interface of informal support interventions with health and social care, but very little was found. This session will therefore seek to gather the collective views and experience of workshop participants to develop recommendations for how health and social care could best tailor their services and signpost effectively to these forms of support.</p> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <section class="m-content-grid-switch m-inner-grid "> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div
