Education and Learning

During the COVID-19 pandemic all our face to face courses are postponed.  We will be continuing with our Project ECHO programme and we are endeavouring to do training online.  Please contact us if you have any enquiries regarding courses.

As well as offering specialist palliative training we also offer a range of tailor made courses for organisations.  Examples of tailor made courses are:

  • Enhancing end of life care in care homes
  • Patient centred goal setting in palliative care
  • Practical interventions for people with breathlessness
  • Advance care planning

If you would like to discuss a tailor made course and how we could work with you, please contact Dr Sally Boa - [email protected] or 01324826222.

We provide learning opportunities for a range of health and social care professionals and volunteers.  For information about support we offer for Care Homes please click here
