The Virtual Clinical Visits provide an opportunity to find out more about palliative and end of life care at St Christopher’s Hospice based on your clinical specialism, hosted online and via on-demand resources.
You will engage in the virtual visit alongside clinical colleagues from different contexts. Activities during the virtual visit include opportunities to explore St Christopher’s services, witness multidisciplinary meetings and clinical decision making, network with peers, meet with St Christopher’s staff relevant to your role and critically evaluate practice within your own professional context.
By the end of the Virtual Clinical Visit you will create an action plan for developing practice specific to your context.
Orientation will be via our Online Learning Platform.
“The Virtual Clinical Visit was well-designed and engaging. It inspired me to review what I am currently doing and to rethink what matters to clients, their family and to me/our team” Lai Ming Lamcy, October 2025
“The dedicated sessions with faculty members from similar specialties were particularly valuable, as they offered deeper insights into their roles and functioning within the hospice.
The programme was highly impactful. I was able to adapt and replicate several of the practices and approaches in our own setting.” Attendee, October 2025
All clinical professions working in palliative care or interested in palliative care.
