Death is a life event that all are guaranteed to share.  The only question we as care providers need to ask, is “how can we ease the end-of-life journey for those in our care”.  The simple answer is to provide them the best ending possible, a “Good death”.  The course looks at the types of activities that can be offered and their impact on the end-of-life (EOL) journey.  How activities can contribute towards the quality of life of those in their final months.  Additionally, how the environment can be best used to support those at EOL in a person-centred meaningful way.

Aim

The aim of this course is to show activity co-ordinators how to support people approaching the end of their lives in care settings.  All our courses are very practical, and you will learn techniques that are easy to apply to support those in your care in the best way possible.

Duration

10am to 3.30pm approximately via Zoom.
