This course provides an introduction to providing Palliative Care, which is especially useful for those working in care homes.

CPD Certified Training Approved by Skills for Care

We have been recognised as an endorsed provider from Skills for Care, earning the prestigious distinction as a Centre of Excellence within training and health & social care.

Palliative Care is delivered over a full day. The course aims are to give learners an awareness of palliative care within their own area of work, to address the practical skills that care workers may use when supporting clients and their families, and to establish the role of the worker in providing palliative care. By the end of this session, candidates will be able to discuss the principles of palliative care, understand the stages of grief and bereavement, and will be aware of religious and cultural diversities and burial requirements.
