This session focuses on the basics of end of life care and is a great foundation for new staff and individuals unsure about palliative and end of life care. The session is both informative and interactive with a good variety of activities, including a presentation, group discussion, handouts and information to take away. We also deliver a similar course aimed at RN’s – End of Life Care for Registered Professionals.
Suitable for any social or health care assistants and carers (care and nursing home staff, carers in the community and health care professionals) who work with life-limiting conditions or have an interest in developing their knowledge around end of life care.
