About this course

It is important that the care given to patients who are approaching the end of their life is carried out with respect, empathy and support towards the patient and their family. On the End of Life Care Train the Trainer course, learners will be taught what is meant by palliative care, how we cope with palliative care and how to help others, the different types of complementary therapies, how to empathise with and support patients, be able to recognise different experiences around death and dying, and understand the need for Advanced Care Planning. This course will also cover the importance of symptom management, be able to describe ‘Advance Directives’, and understand roles and responsibilities in end-of-life care. Learners will then be able to teach Palliative and End of Life training to other members in the workplace, by learning different teaching methods and learning styles.

Our End of Life Train the Trainer course is aimed at anyone within the health and social care sector that wants to be able to teach an in-house End of Life Care training course to their colleagues. The material will teach the skills required to support the individual and their family with confidence and sensitivity.
