OVERVIEW

About this course.

Palliative care is the active, holistic care of people of any age living with a serious, life-limiting or life-threatening illness. Far from being only about the final days of life, it can begin from the moment of diagnosis and run alongside treatments that aim to cure or control the illness. The goal is to help the person live as fully and comfortably as possible, with their dignity and wishes at the centre — while also supporting those close to them.

This awareness-level course explains what palliative care is and how it differs from end-of-life care, the World Health Organization definition, the idea of ‘total pain’ and the four domains of holistic care. It covers the wide range of conditions palliative care supports, the role of the multidisciplinary team and hospices, common symptoms at an awareness level, sensitive communication, advance care planning, supporting families and carers, recognising and escalating deterioration, and looking after your own emotional wellbeing.
