We offer training and support to local health and social care professionals involved in the care of individuals facing incurable illness and bereavement.
There are a range of courses, palliative care masterclasses & study days available, both online & in person.
The Hospice Education collaboration with St Elizabeth Hospice, St Helena & Farleigh Hospice provides one place for health and social care professionals to visit, learn new skills and share ideas to increase knowledge and skill sets to better meet the needs of the communities we serve.
In person training may take place at one of the hospice locations across the East of England.
Hospice Education is passionate about inclusion. It is important we are able include everyone with different backgrounds and make the education experience accessible for all.
If you have any special requirements or need any reasonable adjustments to be made please email us in advance of attending your training.
A range of classes are available to book, including palliative care masterclasses.
If you work at a care home, our Care Home Accreditation programme will help you gain skills for end-of-life care with a certified award.
We also offer training on ReSPECT and can arrange bespoke training to be tailored to your organisational needs.
