A Short Film About Resuscitation - Subtitled
As part of the compassionate companion project a short film has been made to support patients and their families, as well as health professionals, to have conversations about resuscitation - what it is, when it is appropriate and when it might not be, and how to go about seeking more information.

"It may seem morbid, but the reality of life is that anything can happen. It's quite a relieving feeling knowing that, with the use of some of these tools, my family and my GP know what my wishes are should anything happen to me.
