Description
This programme will explore the principles and practice of palliative care and provide nurses with skills and tools to support people in their end of life journey. It will focus on the holistic care of the patient including the physical, psychosocial and philosophical aspects of palliative care. The individual needs of each patient will be explored and the role of the nurse, symptom management and pain management will be explored. Death, last offices and care after death will be discussed. Guidance will be provided on how to communicate effectively with persons with a life-limiting illness in the last days of a person’s life and also with their families, carers and significant others.
