'Breaking Bad News' provides practical guidance on the key principles needed to create a framework for discussions with the patient. The ability to impart bad news well is an important skill for all doctors and many healthcare professionals but it is perceived as a particularly stressful part of the job, even though it is a skill that can easily be understood and practised. When handled well it can significantly enhance the relationship with the patient and their relatives.
