End of life care provides support for people approaching death, enabling them to live their lives as well as possible until they die. It covers a wide range of care settings, including hospices, care homes, care in the community and primary care.
The programme offers a comprehensive course in end-of-life care, focusing on understanding critical aspects of compassionate and person-centred support during life’s final stages. It covers communication strategies, assessment and care planning, person-centred approaches, and provides guidance for care during the final hours of life and bereavement support. The curriculum aims to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide dignified, empathetic care during this sensitive and profound period.
