Palliative care is part of good healthcare provision.
In response to service demand, this exciting new course has been developed to improve the capacity of healthcare providers to support people approaching end of life, and their families. National guidelines for the palliative care education of generalist health professionals and the national standards for the provision of palliative care underpin this course.
The Introduction to Palliative Care Short Course is recommended for nurses from all fields of practice, personal care attendants, and allied health professionals.
As a participant in this course you will be challenged by an innovative approach to learning based on best practice principles, in line with health policy direction.
Participants of this short course who wish to develop the skills of a specialist palliative care nurse or other health professional will be encouraged to enter specialist postgraduate studies.
Course delivery will provide a supportive learner-centred program. Workshops will be complimented by the use of online web-based activities and personal study. The course will be delivered flexibly to address the needs of rural and remote participants. This course has been developed by Monash in partnership with the Gippsland Region Palliative Care Consortium in response to a need for an introductory course for generalist healthcare practitioners.
