About this course
This Palliative Care training course will teach your care staff what is meant by palliative care, how to empathise with and support patients, understand how we cope with palliative care and different types of complementary therapies. Upon successful completion, learners will instantly gain a downloadable, accredited Palliative and End of Life Care certificate, which can be used to show their compliance.
Ensure your staff know exactly what to do in relation to end of life palliative care to allow patients to pass in comfort and peace and to allow their family happy memories of their life. Palliative care training is for carers, specialist doctors, nurses, health professionals, spiritual care workers or any care work in the health and social care sector.
The care given within a person’s dying days is arguably the most important responsibility a carer can possess. It is, therefore, of utmost importance that the care given to these patients is carried out with respect, empathy and support towards the patient and their family. Managers and team leaders also need to make sure that they have enough trained staff to meet the needs and wishes of the people they support.
