How to navigate a life-limiting diagnosis: a Free Workshop for Carers presented by Karuna Hospice Service and Wellways Carer Gateway
HOPE FOR THE BEST – PLAN FOR THE REST
When someone you love is diagnosed with a life-changing illness, it can feel overwhelming. While the diagnosis may not change, the way you and your loved one experience the journey can.
This free, interactive workshop is designed to empower carers with practical tools, emotional support, and clear strategies to navigate life-limiting illness with confidence and compassion.
You’ll learn how to:
- Communicate clearly with healthcare providers
- Plan ahead while staying hopeful
- Navigate difficult conversations with clarity
- Keep your loved one’s values at the centre of every decision
- Move from feeling in the dark to feeling informed and in control
Based on the best-selling book Hope for the Best, Plan for the Rest: 7 Keys for Navigating a Life-Changing Diagnosis by Dr Sammy Winemaker and Dr Hsien Seow—hosts of the Waiting Room Revolution podcast—this workshop is part of a growing movement to put the human back at the centre of care.
