Farleigh Hospice Joins Hospice Education Partnership
Farleigh Hospice has joined fellow East Anglian hospices, St Elizabeth Hospice and St Helena Hospice, in a joint Hospice Education Partnership initiative.
The three hospices provide compassionate care to people in their local communities who are living with life-limiting conditions, so they can enjoy the best quality of life possible and die with dignity.
Farleigh, St Elizabeth and St Helena Hospices are now working together to provide an extensive range of education, training, learning and development sessions – both online and in person – in palliative and end of life care.
These sessions will be available to the hospices’ staff and volunteers as well as healthcare professionals across mid and north east Essex and Suffolk through to Great Yarmouth and Waveney.
Mandy Summons, Head of Hospice Education, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Farleigh Hospice into Hospice Education.
“By working together, we can broaden access to quality palliative and end-of-life education, sharing expertise across our teams, and supporting staff and partners with learning that is practical, inclusive and responsive to need.
“This partnership strengthens our ambition to deliver consistent, best practice palliative and end-of-life care education. Together, we’ll expand learning opportunities and build a stronger community to improve support for people living with life-limiting illness.”
The three hospices recently signed a joint memorandum of understanding to confirm their new partnership in Hospice Education.
Kate Tighe, Head of Nursing, Inpatient Care and Education at Farleigh Hospice, said: “We are excited to be working alongside St Helena and St Elizabeth Hospices, led by Mandy, in this innovative new partnership.
“Together we will shape education that is relevant, practical and supportive of palliative and end-of-life care for the benefit of our local communities.”
