** GUEST EPISODE ** 

This week, we feature another episode from the brilliant pre-hospital podcast 'PHEMCAST', created by Tim Nutbeam and Clare Bosanko.

They discuss the art of breaking bad news - a task that most medical professionals, especially pre-hospital providers - will have to carry out frequently, with very little training.

Clare and Tim talk how to do it, when to do it, and how you can best deliver life-changing news under stressful circumstances.
