Training

The End of Life Care Strategy published by the Department of Health in 2008 has recognised that care for dying people has been rather fragmented, with some patients receiving excellent care and others not having access to such high quality. This needs to change so that all healthcare professionals are trained to give the optimum care that patients deserve at the end of life ensuring equity for all.

As a Centre for Excellence with many highly trained and specialised staff, it is part of our remit to improve Specialist Palliative Care in our community. One of the ways we do this is through the running of training programmes for care home staff and District Nurses.
