Education and Training

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.

Strathcarron Hospice is Standing With You

As you read this today we are approaching the tenth week of Lockdown. Three months ago the term Lockdown wasn’t used very often in our conversations with each other and already it has become the topic most talked about amongst us; family, friends, colleagues and neighbours. We are conscious every one of us has probably struggled, one way or another, during the past weeks. This is especially true for bereaved people who have perhaps not had the opportunity to see loved ones.

Compassionate Neighbours

Strathcarron Compassionate Neighbours are volunteers from our local communities who can help people to make connections in a number of different ways.
