PGCert Integrated Palliative & End of Life Care

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

This PGCert is designed to make palliative and end-of-life care real, meaningful, and accessible for all frontline clinical staff. The program is suitable for nurses (community, hospital, nursing home, hospice), health and social care practitioners, allied health professionals, paramedics, and doctors (GPs, specialist doctors, and doctors in training). You will gain enhanced knowledge, confidence, and competence in assessing the palliative and end-of-life care needs of patients and their families. Individual disease groups will be analyzed and the trajectory of dying assessed, looking for similarities and differences and seeing how these might be managed. In addition to this, you will learn how to manage symptoms and address concerns arising across the four domains of holistic care (physical, psychological, spiritual, and social). Ethical and legal aspects of care will also be considered.

General Eligibility

The normal minimum requirement is a degree equivalent to UK first-class or second-class honors (2:2 or above) in a health or social care-related subject. Other subjects may be considered subject to a successful interview. You must be currently working in a healthcare setting.

If you have a minimum of five years experience working within health and social care, you may be able to access the course without a degree, subject to a successful interview, if you are able to demonstrate evidence of relevant continuous professional development.
