Topic: Impact of terminal illness and bereavement on sex and intimacy
Speaker: Bridget Taylor
Bridget Taylor is a community specialist palliative care nurse at Sobell House Hospice in Oxford, and is also a senior lecturer at Oxford Brookes University, where she teaches a variety of courses including sexuality. Bridget is co-author of the Extended PLISSIT Model for addressing sexuality in clinical practice. Her PhD research explored the meaning of sexuality and intimacy for patients and partners of patients living with motor neurone disease or terminal cancer. She has published widely and presented her research findings both nationally and internationally.
Bridget’s interactive workshop will look at the impact of terminal illness and bereavement on sex and intimacy, open up some of the challenges we may experience exploring these issues with our clients, and help us think about our role and possible interventions.
