education and training department
The Department continues to develop and to respond to changing health care education needs. Our overall aim is to provide innovative approaches to palliative care education, taking education out of the classroom into the practice setting.
By offering training to professionals from other care settings the expertise gained within the Hospice can be passed on to improve the quality of care delivered throughout the borough. The approach is student-centred attempting to create learning environments which encourage open expression and reflection upon practice.
A range of programmes of education are offered from short information sessions and single study days to longer courses running over several weeks.
For professionals who wish to undertake longer in-depth study into palliative care, the department offers two university accredited courses. Education department staff are also accredited facilitators for the National Advanced Communication Skills Course and have gained experience in specialist palliative care.
