This free online caregiving course explains how to provide palliative and end-of-life support to patients and families.

Palliative care is complicated and intertwined with emotions. There is a shortage of qualified and skilled support workers who are trained to help patients and their families face serious illnesses and their consequences. Such caregivers must often provide end-of-life care and encourage patients and families to enjoy their remaining days together with dignity and comfort. This caregiving course is designed to fill that gap and is a perfect choice for those who wish to work in this rewarding but demanding field. We provide the best techniques and procedures used to manage smooth palliative care for patients. We take you through the legal issues related to after-death processes to help you make a positive impact on the lives of those in your care.

This caregiving course explains the concepts that apply across all practice and disease boundaries. Our lessons cover the emotional, spiritual and cultural aspects of providing end-of-life care. We show you how types of illness are identified before taking you through the steps of reaching a holistic assessment or designing specialised care plans. The course guides you through all the procedures used to provide high-quality care before and after death. We also cover support training and development, legal acts, regulations and amendments and professional codes of practice and behaviour to prepare you to handle the after-death process with confidence.
