Limits of Practice
As an End-of-Life Doula, we acknowledge that time may be the greatest contributor to Limits of Practice.
An End-of-Life Doula does not perform clinical or medical tasks (including but not limited to such things as taking blood pressure or temperature, checking heart rates, performing invasive procedures/interventions or post-mortem clinical care, for example: removing catheters, subcutaneous sites, pacemakers etc.). Where possible, all informational support given will be supported with evidence-based research and qualified resources. As your End-of-Life Doula, I will provide information on benefits, risks, and alternatives rather than a personal perspective on all matters. The doula does not diagnose or prescribe treatments and are to refer to a qualified professional wherever and whenever possible.
Where I have additional training in areas outside of the doula’s scope of practice, I will to clearly inform you of such training, the limits of my abilities to offer knowledge and or practice in this area and that any additional service offered is separate from my training as a Death Doula and End-of-Life Care Specialist.
