Training for Teachers in Palliative Care - Foundation

Training in contemporary teaching skills for doctors and health care professionals working in palliative care.

Who can attend

This training is open to doctors and healthcare professionals who have -

The course is taught in English but if there are enough participants from a specific language area, it may be possible to do some small group work in other languages.

About the Course

This 3 day course focuses on teaching palliative and end of life care with an emphasis on how to teach, not what to teach.  It provides a unique opportunity for participants to examine specific teaching formats and how the KOLB model can be used to enhance teaching. 

Participants will have the opportunity to explore a range of teaching methods and delivery skills aimed at palliative and end of life care.  They will also be encouraged to design and develop learner-centred education aimed at specific target groups.
