The Fundamentals of Palliative Care Programme – Ngā Tūāpapa, o te Pairuri
The Fundamentals of Palliative Care programme is designed for any healthcare worker, registered and non-registered staff caring for people with a palliative care need. Being educated about palliative care will help you improve the assessment and outcomes for people in your care, their family and whānau, as well as yourself and other healthcare workers.
This programme is also a good introduction for anyone in the community who has a desire to learn more about the palliative care journey.
The programme is run in a blended format of online learning modules followed by a face to face one day workshop. All free of charge.
