• Further to the aim of an integrated approach to communications skills training, the Hospice Friendly Hospitals Programme and the Informing Families Project began planning in 2005 for a joint seminar to take place in April 2006. The aim of the seminar will be to present to a selected audience of key decision makers and service providers, the evidence gathered through research on both projects, in order to encourage the nationwide implementation of communications skill training for staff, in particular with regards to communicating with families, service users and patients who have received distressing news. • Consultation continued in 2005 with all key stakeholders to ensure that a coherent and effective dissemination, implementation, and training strategy is put in place for the National Best Practice Guidelines. • Planning began in 2005 to explore options for developing a pilot scheme through which to apply the Guidelines, in order to inform roll-out on a wider basis. • Work also began in 2005 on the development of proposals to put in place resources to address information needs of parents and professionals identified through the Informing Families consultation and research programme. 28
