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 provide both virtual and on site sessions at the Education Centre at our hospice in Southampton. Course information can be filtered by 'on site courses' or 'virtual courses' by clicking the relevant option below.
