Modular Courses and Learning Sessions
We have recently reformatted our learning and teaching sessions to align with Health Education England for Palliative and End of Life Care learning outcomes. Our new module programme started in April 2023, with the launch of our two new Oakhaven Certificate modules:
- Fundamental Skills in Palliative and End of Life Care (for Registered Nurses and Qualified Healthcare Professionals)
- Core Care in Palliative and End of Life (for Health Care Assistants and Allied Healthcare Professionals)
Our modules and learning sessions cover a variety of subjects within palliative and end-of-life care. These modules and learning sessions are available for all healthcare professionals in our community.
We endeavour to make our modules and learning sessions friendly and informative, with the content aligned to Health Education England utilising a variety of adult learning strategies to ensure a varied learning experience. We believe education in end-of-life care is crucial to providing quality patient care. We work closely with all healthcare professionals to improve the quality of palliative and end-of-life care for our community.
We look forward to welcoming you and your colleagues.
If you are interested in learning more about any of our modules and learning sessions, please call us on 01590 646445 or email education@oakhavenhospice.co.uk
