Aim:
To provide an awareness of how best to manage end of life care including symptoms of terminal illnesses, assessment of mental state and effective communication skills with clients and families.
All healthcare staff may, at some point, be required to care for someone at the end of their life. This is a testing time for carers, families and clients and it is vital for staff to be confident in their ability to manage these situations and work effectively to ensure this time is as peaceful and comfortable as possible for all involved. This course aims to deliver that to all who attend.
