Palliative and End of Life Care

This awareness course takes a sensitive look at care at the end of life and palliative care, defining these terms and going on to provide background information on the typical life trajectories for common life limiting illnesses. The focus on the session is the importance of person centred care planning and involvement of MDT members transitioning to terminal care at the appropriate times. The course provides practical advice on managing specific symptoms and ways to support the individual and their families.
