DNACPR (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation)

Joining current LCNUK Chair Karen Clayton for our next LCNUK podcast, and first in a two part series, is Mat Culverhouse from Irwin Mitchell.

Mat is a partner in the Public Law and Human Rights Department at Irwin Mitchell specialising in mental and community law, and joins Karen to discuss the very important topic of DNACPR (Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation).

During this podcast you will hear what DNACPR is, the reality of what CPR is and what impact it can have on a patient, some scenarios that you may find yourself in with patients and how you can navigate them, and why it is so important that you understand the complexities of it.
