At Mountbatten, we believe that education is key to ensuring best practice and high-quality care. Our range of palliative and end of life care training supports the delivery of exceptional care to all people and their families as they near and reach the end of their lives wherever they are, in any setting. We offer a comprehensive programme 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 dedicated education team are responsible for developing and supporting all teaching activity and would 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 needs.
