The course is offered to registered healthcare professionals from all disciplines providing palliative care, including those from primary, secondary and tertiary settings.

The course assessment requires a holistic approach. We appreciate that professionals will come from different perspectives depending on their discipline and this will be taken into account during assessments.

All candidates are required to have:

• Evidence of their registration with relevant professional body i.e. GMC, NMC, HCPC
• Possession of a relevant professional healthcare qualification
• Current involvement in providing palliative and end of life care to patients, as part of the course assessment requires completion of a patient focused case study
• Study time allocated to complete the course – recommended approximately 50 hours of home study during the 9-weeks, however this varies greatly from person to person
• Access to email, internet, and computer / laptop
• Funding (£600) confirmed

As this is an intense course over a 9-week period, we highly recommend that candidates avoid lengthy holidays or other large projects/commitments during the course dates.
