Providing the essential building blocks to support people at the end of life and their families
A one-day training day to increase the confidence and skills of homecare workers caring for people who are approaching the end of life and their families. By attending the training, carers will gain an understanding of:
- What is palliative and end-of-life care? Dispelling myths
- Sensitive communication and working with informal carers
- Maximising the potential of the person you are supporting
- Recognising and responding to common symptoms
- Recognising dying and care in the last days of life
- Lone working, self-care and reflective practice
St Christopher’s are really pleased to be putting into practice recommendations for palliative and end-of-life training for homecare workers following an extensive study of the first-hand experiences of homecare workers, managers, people receiving care and their family members, health and social practitioners and commissioners.
We are looking to partner with homecare agencies who can send up to 5 team members on our first iteration of this training on Wednesday 11th November with the ask that the attendees also take part in evaluation of the training so we can understand how the training has impacted on practice.
Attendees will receive refreshments, lunch, a tour of the hospice, a certificate of completion and resources to support their ongoing practice.
We really hope you can join us.
Managers, Carers and Senior Carers at Homecare agencies.
We encourage up to 5 attendees from each agency to maximise the impact.
Additional tutors may present certain sessions on the day.
