Providing the essential building blocks to support patients and their families at the end of life
Join us for a one day course, which provides health and social care professionals working in any setting with an introduction to the key principles and fundamental skills in Palliative and End of Life Care.
What will the course look like?
By attending this course, you will have the opportunity to discuss, evaluate and increase your knowledge, skills and confidence in end of life care.
Our course embraces a multidisciplinary approach to support a truly holistic response to caring for people approaching the end of life.
Our trainers bring together expertise from a range of professional backgrounds. While we acknowledge and speak directly to the unique contributions of individual professions during our sessions, we remain grounded in the core value of effective Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) working.
The diagram below highlights the five key principles that form the foundation of our course:
This course is for all professionals working in the health and social care sector who have limited knowledge of, or wish to refresh their understanding of palliative and end of life care. It is suitable for staff across a wide range of settings, including Care Homes, domiciliary care and may also be relevant for those working in primary care, social work, or those new to working in hospices.
Additional tutors may present certain sessions on the day.
