Introduction

The need for palliative and end of life care is changing, with increasing demands and complexity. Therefore there is a corresponding rise in the need for education and training. Education and professional development is part of the Hospice’s core business and using our experience and expertise to develop others is fundamental to our work. As a lead education provider we aim to promote the highest quality palliative and end of life care for everyone through the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes.

We are pleased to offer a range of study days and courses to help your development. You will find a selection of learning opportunities that address many aspects of clinical, communication and care issues.

There are a range of study days available for a variety of people caring for individuals which can be tailored to meet your particular requirements.

We would be delighted to welcome you to our Hospice.

To register for listed courses please complete the application form and email it to

Bespoke Training Opportunities
