Education Courses: The Cicely Saunders Series

"We have to listen to the details of symptoms, giving constant attention to changing needs. We are concerned both to relieve suffering and that our patients should maintain their own character and style to the end." (Saunders)

Translating the original vision and values of Cicely Saunders into modern end of life contexts is the challenge for us all. Addressing the needs of all users and carers requiring competent and confident end of life care, in whatever setting they are in, is a huge challenge. Education and communication are key. This Series offers opportunities to focus on some important areas of care at the end of life which present us with professional dilemmas or raise complex questions.
