The recent End of Life Strategy (DH, 2008) recognises the need for
education to ensure that health and social care staff have the necessary
knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide high quality and effective
care for the dying, and that such education will be critical to the
success of improving end of life care for all.
This Postgraduate Certificate in End of Life Care is a new and
exciting response to recent Department of Health policy initiatives. It
is open to any experienced qualified professional who is currently
involved in delivering end of life care within their area of practice,
and who meets the entry requirements.
