A crucial aspect of high quality palliative care for children is acknowledged to be the academic and practice education received by all staff working within children and young people’s palliative care services. A variety of good quality educational study days and courses are currently available to qualified and non qualified staff (in health, education and social care) in different parts of the UK. However this appears to be patchy and un-coordinated and mainly organised to meet local need.
We are trying to gather evidence relating to the range and scope of the current education provision within the UK at all levels. This is in order to inform the types of learning and education that might be needed for current and future workers within the specialism.
We would like to hear from you about how your staff access training and education, and about any courses that you offer or courses attended by your staff. Please contact us, and we will send you a short questionnaire to complete and return to us. We will let you know the outcome of our findings.
