MSc Integrated Palliative & End of Life Care

... United Kingdom
... Edge Hill University

Course Overview

This program is designed to make palliative and end-of-life care real, meaningful and accessible for all frontline clinical staff. The program is suitable for nurses (community, hospital, nursing home, hospice), health and social care practitioners, allied health professionals, paramedics, and doctors (GPs, specialist doctors, and doctors in training). You will gain enhanced knowledge, confidence, and competence in assessing the palliative and end-of-life care needs of patients and their families, with a particular focus on transforming end-of-life communication and the psychology of spiritual care and positive emotion. The impact of different disease trajectories will be explored, looking for similarities and differences and seeing how these might be managed. In addition, you will learn how to manage symptoms and address concerns arising across the four domains of holistic care (physical, psychological, spiritual, and social), consider the ethical and legal aspects of care, and undertake an advanced practice project, underpinned by a detailed understanding of clinical education research.

General Eligibility
