Training for end of life care

RRV with blue lights

The Trust has teamed up with Peace Hospice Care and the Hospice of St Francis to provide a training course on end of life care.

The day aims to provide support and guidance on this difficult and often complicated part of what we do as an ambulance service.

The event will be held on 14th November at the Stanborough Centre (609 St Albans Road, Watford, WD25 9JL), running from 9am-5pm, and will include the following topics:

  • Palliative care emergencies and ‘just in case’ drugs
  • Communication skills: breaking bad news and bereavement
  • Advance care planning, including DNACPR and associated documentation
  • Contacting, assessing and using palliative care services.

All staff are welcome to join the session, and a CPD certificate will be provided to attendees.  Free parking is available on site and lunch and refreshments are also included.

If you want to know more, or to book your place, please contact richard.smith@eastamb.nhs.uk.
