Book Blether Seasonal Reads – Special Edition
Published: 25/11/2025 11:22Book Blether Seasonal Reads – Special Edition, a collaborative initiative from NHS Grampian’s Spiritual Care Team and Library & Knowledge Service.
📖 This season’s read
With the End in Mind by Kathryn Mannix – a collection of gentle, compassionate stories that help us reflect on life, dying, and the care we provide.
This isn’t a course or a lecture; it’s an informal space to connect, share, and reflect together. We’ll explore dying – a reality that touches every part of health care, but also something deeply human that goes beyond professional roles. It’s about understanding, compassion, and the conversations that matter – for patients, families, and for us as people.
