At Mountbatten, we believe that education is key to ensuring best practice and high-quality care. We offer a comprehensive range of workshops, training sessions and programmes, facilitated by a variety of experienced health care practitioners. Many of our training sessions are accredited by the CPD Standards Office.
Our training sessions have a relaxed and friendly approach, focusing on subjects surrounding palliative and end of life care. We welcome anyone with an interest in learning more about care at end of life, death, dying and bereavement to contact us or book a place on one of our many courses. We can also design bespoke training to meet your individual or organisational needs.
We provide both live virtual and on site sessions at the Education Centre at our hospice in Southampton. Additional training sessions are also available from our Hospice on the Isle of Wight.
