Testimonials from past attendees:
"Personally I got much out of your wonderful, inspiring palliative care course. I have been reassured it’s OK to be holistic, to love our patients, to go that little extra. I’ve learned it’s OK to grieve but must know when to let go…"
"The absolute inspiration and motivation to pursue, explore and implement excellent palliative care in our facility. Thank you so much!"
Course Description
Preamble
With many health professionals acknowledging that their preparation in palliative care is mainly clinical there is a need to offer education that addresses social, emotional and spiritual issues—all of which are individual and include relationships, experiences and beliefs across the life span.
Aim
The aim of this course is to provide participants with experiences that include physical comfort yet go beyond physical needs to suggest deeper and more appropriate responses to end of life care
