This is a three-day course and participants will be expected to attend all three days to gain their certificate.

The course is aimed at Domiciliary Care staff. The course covers aspects such as:

· Increased confidence in matters relating to end-of-life care

· Recognising when someone is exhibiting changes which could be part of dying

· Know how the individual and those close to them may respond to their anticipated death, and how to support them with this response

· Understand the person-centred approach to Advance Care Planning including DNACPR, Mental Capacity and consent, faith and spirituality, self- awareness and Lasting Power of Attorney or any relevant documentation depending on locality

Farleigh Hospice, St Lukes Hospice and Saint Francis Hospice will each deliver one of the days covering different aspects of End of Life.

The first two days are held in Chelmsford and the third day will be held at St Lukes new hospice and training centre in Upminster with a chance to look around a modern hospice and see how it delivers a service to those at end of life.

Parking at Hamptons costs £1 for the day. Parking is free at St Lukes. Lunch will be provided at both venues.

Two spaces per registered service.  The session will start promptly at 09:15 please arrive early to allow time for registration. Attendees will not be permitted entry once the session has started.
